The State Changers had a meeting revolving around technical issues related to interface filtering over a "set of" and "post requests". They went over problem-solving a particular issue of many variables trying to be passed through a guest request; the solution was to send them through a "post request".
An issue was encountered where the filter worked well only from the page filter. The team helped diagnose the problem through a closer inspection of the function stack and query records. An issue arose with the output giving misleading results based on the input, so the query as it got set up was analyzed. The values were not properly filtering and produced an issue with values not matching. After further investigation, they found that the backend was given and the question was asked, but the frontend did not reciprocate the outcome expected. Another concern was the display of variables on the front-end. To solve this, a suggestion was made to bind the values and store it as a page variable so that the multi-page application does not forget about the previous choice when going from one component to another. A question was raised about the function "fetch a collection" after a post request. It was clarified that the function of the "fetch a collection" feature is to update a collection based on change which usually happens when you're changing the parameters of a collection, or when people make changes to the collection. Overall, the discussion was technical, focusing on proper usage of variables, data binding, and the implications of certain functions like "fetch a collection". Issues with automatic collection refreshing were also highlighted. This meeting would be useful for developers working on enhancing their frontend and backend integration, especially while working with post requests and data filtering.
