Large amount of background requests running in a loop in the Universal GUI

I'm investigating performance issues we're having in the Universal GUI on some pages. One thing I noticed when checking the affected pages is the large amount of requests being fired constantly while the page is loaded. It's unclear to me why these requests are being fired in what seems to be a continues loop.

When checking the Network tab in my browser it recorded over 500 requests in 23 seconds:

Does anyone have a hint where I can find the source of these requests?

Hi M_G,

This might be fixed in the Universal that will be released next Monday September 1st, that release contains a fix for something that looks a lot like this.

You could validate this by trying Universal 2025.2.12-rc1 in a non-production environment.

Kind regards,

Unfortunately this still occurs with the latest Universal GUI version.

Hi M_G,

What are the exact reproduction steps for this? Can you add a gif of what you’re doing? And can you attach a screenshot of the about screen of Universal?

Thanks!

Hi Tim,

I don't have a gif of the screens, but we get the endless stream of requests on every page we navigate to that includes the 'grid_detail_grid_tab'. We use this on most pages, and it's a detail screen type with a detail tab page, an action bar, and a form.

The about screen (We updated to this version just yesterday):

Hi M_G,

could you report a ticket for this? Please include a screenshot of that screen type?

Kind regards,

Tim de Lang

Hi M_G,

We spoke in the ticket. The reason for this was that breakpoint screentypes were refering to eachother causing a loop.

Good to hear it is solved now.

Best regards,
Erik Brink
