Variables getting deleted unexpectedly

Hi everyone, :waving_hand:

I ran into an issue where some of my workflows suddenly stopped working because a variable was deleted — and I’m certain it wasn’t done manually on my end.

Has anyone else experienced variables disappearing like this? Or is there something I might be missing that could cause this behavior?

Would really appreciate any insights. Thanks!

Hey @Perales :waving_hand:

Yes, it’s a problem right now. The team is looking into it.

In the meantime, can you try @RandyG0322 tip of adding an explicit instruction like “Do X but DO NOT modify existing workflows, variables, formulas” and let us know if it helps?

Hey Joyce, thanks for the response.

I took a look at the tip, but I think my situation might be different. The example mentioned is about AI modifying or deleting variables after a prompt — but in my case, I haven’t used AI in WeWeb at all.

The variables were deleted overnight without any manual action on my side, which is what concerns me. That’s why I wanted to check if this could be related to the issue you mentioned or if it might be something else.

I hope it gets solved soon, I cant launch my app if things breaks out of the blue.

Ok, that definitely sounds like something else entirely. From your screenshot, I can see the dropdown is still referencing a variable UUID, which suggests the variable may still exist somewhere in the project.

Can you create a bug ticket here if you haven’t already? Please make sure to mention that this is a blocker.

The variable existed before, but it suddenly disappeared. I had to recreate it and rebind it across the 3 workflows where it was being used.

I’ve already created a support ticket for this :+1:

Thanks for the help, Joyce — and by the way, I really enjoy your YouTube videos!

I hope these issues get resolved soon so we can confidently ship :rocket:
