Single Table Design Unusable - Randomly Autopopulate existing items

Open kr1p70n1c opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

OS: macos 10.15.7 Versions: 1.10.0, 1.10.2, 1.10.4

I am not sure if this has been reported before (I can't find anything in the existing open issues here), but with Single Table Design when I click around existing items are just randomly updated with other item's values which messes up the whole design. This especially happens when I have clicked on a Global Secondary Index to view it.

Not only does that happen, the wrong items is also grouped together, displaying 3 items in a GSI item collection, but one of the items does not even have the same GSI1PK value to be included in said item collection.

The above issues make the Single Table Design unusable, and I can't help feel that I have been duped paying for this. I have to be very careful where I click or I have to re-edit existing items, and sometimes you have to rethink what the design was to edit them properly, thus losing momentum with work. I have lost so much time due to this already, so beyond a certain point I can not use this.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

I hope I am just doing something stupid.

If more detail is needed, I can mockup a new Single Table design and showcase what I am referring to. However, I do not want to lose my existing work, so how do I start an additional Single Table design? Currently one can do only one design?

I sincerely hope I am the only one experiencing this and that I should perhaps just change a setting somewhere to fix this for me.

Regards

It's not only you. We wanted to pay for this until we saw how buggy it was.

Sorry for the inconvenience, that shouldn't happen. Can you please provide an example model where you experience an issue?

In version 1.10.8, there's a section of "Recent models" where your process is auto-saved with every step. You can safely click "Reset Model" to go back to the main view and your model will appear there.

I'm having a ton of trouble with single-table design also.

  • Edits don't take sometimes. Haven't tried anything but the attributes view.
  • Switching between indexes doesn't regroup matching pk items. I have to make an edit to something first.
  • Switching indexes will occasionally corrupt pk or sk with ${} referential attributes.
  • Export capitalizes my pk and sk.
  • Probably a few more not coming to mind right now.

Just purchased. Leaning towards asking for my money back.

Watching this as well.

  • Query mode seems a bit off, often showing that there are no results when there very much should be, requiring "reset query" and recreating the query from scratch to get expected results
  • Modifying or adding attributes in anything other than primary index mode results in attributes being changed on unrelated records
  • Marking an attribute as default for an entity type after having already had records with some data results in the emptying of previously entered data for that attribute.
