Self-hosted Retool 2.74

Release notes for Self-hosted Retool v2.74. First released on September 02, 2021.

  • All admins will now be able to assign two different permission levels for any given resource: (1) "use," which allows an editor to write queries with that resource and (2) "edit," which additionally allows an editor to modify the resource's configuration.
  • Previously, admins had minimal control over permissions to resources — any resource permission granted at a group level would allow members of that group to modify the configuration of the resource. We know configuration for some resources can be sensitive and complex to change, so we've shipped these new permission levels to give admins more control over their user's access.
  • Additionally, to allow editors to create new resources or delete existing ones, admins can assign a group to have "universal access" at the "edit" level. As always, a "viewer" of an app (e.g. no edit permissions) can still view and use an app that leverages a resource for which they do not have explicit permissions granted.
  • When your query succeeds or fails, you can now trigger other queries, control components, call additional APIs, and more–all using event handlers!
  • selectUsers
  • However, anything more complex–showing a notification, controlling components (e.g. opening a modal)–previously required creating and wiring up a JavaScript query, and writing custom code.
  • A few months ago, we rolled out new event handlers to all of your components. We're now replacing the old query triggers, and bringing those powerful event handlers to your queries! You can configure any number of event handlers to run when your query succeeds or fails (e.g. on success, show a notification to your end user and open a modal to prompt a new workflow).
  • query1.trigger()
  • We're rolling out 9 redesigned and rebuilt components, including fully overhauled, existing components (Button, File Button, Link) and brand new components (Tags, File Input, File Dropzone, Listbox, Multiselect Listbox).
  • Just like the input components we released a few weeks ago, these offer brand new configuration options, built-in and custom validation rules, and expanded style editor support. These components were also built with accessibility in mind.
  • {{ textinput1.value }}
  • There are plenty more settings you can configure, even down to the empty state when no options match your search term. Additional functionality includes: an optional Tooltip with support for GitHub flavored markdown, custom validation (e.g. min/max items, custom error messages), event handler support, and more!
  • {{ query1.isFetching }}
  • You can switch between a regular, Solid Button and an Outline Button directly in the "Style" section of the Inspector for either component–you'll also find more advanced style editor support.
  • Lastly, we have a new Link component that supports additional configuration like prefix/suffix icons and an optional Tooltip. You can use the Link component with any event handler, like opening a webpage or another Retool application.
  • value
  • They also support custom validation (e.g. min/max file size, custom error messages), prefix/suffix text and icons, an optional Tooltip, and so much more functionality.
  • Lastly, we've also added a new Tags component, a presentational component typically used in apps for things like categorization. It now has dynamic and automatic height: growing as you add additional tags as well as support for an optional Tooltip.
  • Added the ability to see tables that are related to your query in the query editor's schema browser
  • Added a Front integration

  • checkboxGroup1
  • change
