Defect/Issue Description:

I started to notice a defect for UI Picklists that pull their source from snippets. I believe this may have been introduced in the Dubai Update? I was able to reliably reproduce this on any UI only picklist with source with a snippet. If the snippet just contains a console.log(“test”) message, it will fire that snippet twice when the skuid page is rendered. This is particularly a problem if we are using a fetch or API request to source the Picklist and return it as an array. The fetch request fires twice.

I was able to workaround this issue by making the snippet inline (fire on page render) that creates rows in a model that then the UI Only Picklist values.

*Environment: Sandbox

• API Version: v2


• Release: Dubai Update 2


• Release version: 15.2.4.0


• Platform: SFX

Brief Summary of the Defect/Issue:

Adding a UI Only Picklist that is sourced by a snippet; fires that snippet twice when the page loads.

Action Performed:

Load skuid page and review dev tools & console.

Expected Result:

The snippet should only fire once and display “test” only once.

Actual Result:

The snippet fires twice which causes issues if we are making callouts to other resources to populate the picklist.
