Steps to reproduce

See attached video.

1. Define details of a HTTP request node
2. Save and publish
3. Reload the app
4. HTTP request node has now reset
5. Clicking the restore button shows old saved details of node, but clicking the restore button does not add it to the node again
6. Manually adding the details to the http request node again does not work either

✔️ Expected Behavior

Setting are retained and visible in panel

❌ Actual Behavior

Setting selv delete/hide on page reload

To address the issue with the HTTP request node settings not being properly saved and persisted across sessions in Dify version 0.6.5, focus on enhancing the persistence and loading mechanisms. This involves ensuring that changes to the HTTP request node settings are correctly persisted to a backend service, local storage, or another persistence layer, and that these settings are accurately loaded when the app initializes or when the HTTP request node is loaded.

Here's a strategy to resolve the issue:

1. Enhance Persistence Mechanism: Make sure the logic responsible for managing the state of the HTTP request node, possibly within a useConfig hook or similar, includes functionality to persist changes to settings.

2. Improve Loading Mechanism: Modify the application's initialization or the HTTP request node's loading logic to correctly load persisted settings, ensuring they override the default settings.

3. Ensure Proper State Management: Utilize controlled components for form inputs to manage the state of the HTTP request node settings effectively, reflecting changes in the UI.

4. Debugging and Testing: Thoroughly test the application to ensure settings are correctly saved and restored. Pay attention to asynchronous operations and potential race conditions.

5. User Feedback: Implement mechanisms to inform users about the status of their settings, such as successful saves or errors.

Here's a conceptual example for enhancing the persistence mechanism within a React component or hook:

function useConfig(nodeId, initialData) {
    const [data, setData] = useState(initialData);

    // Update settings and persist changes
    const updateSettings = async (newSettings) => {
        setData(newSettings); // Update local state
        await persistSettings(nodeId, newSettings); // Persist changes
    };

    // Load settings on hook initialization
    useEffect(() => {
        const loadSettings = async () => {
            const savedSettings = await fetchSettings(nodeId);
            if (savedSettings) {
                setData(savedSettings); // Override defaults with saved settings
            }
        };

        loadSettings();
    }, [nodeId]);

    return [data, updateSettings];
}

This example demonstrates integrating persistence logic into the state management of the HTTP request node. Adapt this to fit the actual architecture and data handling mechanisms used by Dify.

FYI still confirmed to be an issue on 0.6.6 on managed solution.

I face the same issue too

It seems a frontend issue, when you add this http request pannel once, it auto saved works. But when you re-opened this pannel, the http method always init to POST, body always reset to None.

the new version 0.6.7 resolve this issue
