represented in the loaded results, while bounding them by the refreshed total
count. Keep normal pagination responsible for fetching later pages and avoid
requesting every page concurrently during a refresh.

Testing instructions
- Open the Data Views menu.
- Select a table that does not have a custom Data View query.
- Verify that the query being executed includes all unhidden fields.
- Select a row in the results.
- Verify that the corresponding form opens in the right panel.
- Switch the orientation and verify that the form opens in the bottom panel.
- Select a second row.
- Verify that a temporary record set is displayed.
- Select multiple rows.
- Verify that the newly selected rows are added to the record set.
- Verify that you can navigate through the records in the record set.
- Modify a field on the form that is also displayed in the query results table.
- Save the form.
- Verify that the change is reflected in the query results table.
- Verify that a record can be deleted.
Data View Query Configuration
- Open the Data Views menu.
- Click the pencil icon next to one of the table names.
- Verify that the Query Builder dialog opens.
- Add a field and/or customize the query.
- Save the changes.
- Verify that the changes have been saved.
- Click the table name and verify that the correct query is executed and the expected results are displayed.
Data Views App Resource
- Go to User Tools → App Resources.
- Open the Data Views resource.
- Verify that you can select a table from the table list on the left.
- Verify that you can collapse the table list.
- Verify that you can search for a table using the search field.
- Verify that tables with a custom query have a green dot displayed next to their name.
- Select a table with a custom query.
- Verify that you can edit the query and save the changes.
- Switch between the Visual Editor and JSON Editor.
- Verify that the query remains consistent between the two editors.
- Save the resource.
- Verify that the changes have been saved.
User-Level Data View Override
- Create a Data Views resource at the user level.
- Create a custom Data View query for one of the tables.
- Save the user-level resource.
- Open the Data Views menu.
- Select the table with the user-level custom query.
- Verify that the user-level query overrides the discipline-level query.
- Verify that the results displayed correspond to the user-level query.
Everything looks good! I was a little confused at first because editing a query in the data views overlay creates a user app resource which was overriding my collection-level resource, but that is just my error. Very nice!

In `@config/backstop/dataobj_formatters.xml`:
- Line 555: Update the Division aggregator’s separator to use a single space on
each side of the pipe, matching the related aggregators and removing the extra
gap in rendered values.
In `@specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/DataViews/index.tsx`:
- Line 184: Move the table === undefined guard below the three React.useMemo
calls in the component, after the memo deriving fields and before any
table-dependent rendering. Keep all hooks unconditionally invoked while
preserving the existing null return for an undefined table.
In
`@specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/__tests__/useQueryExecution.test.tsx`:
- Line 19: Update the afterEach hook in useQueryExecution tests to use a braced
callback body so it does not implicitly return the Jest object from
jest.useRealTimers(); preserve the existing timer-reset behavior.
In `@specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/Header.tsx`:
- Around line 136-145: Gate the SplitViewToggleButton and
SplitViewOrientationButton in Header by the query execute permission using the
existing hasPermission import, matching the conditional pattern used by
QueryLoanReturn. Keep the controls’ current props and behavior unchanged for
users who have permission.
In `@specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/Results.tsx`:
- Around line 661-666: Update the onRowSelected handler in Results to validate
the selected result ID at runtime before updating selectedRows, handleSelected,
or lastSelectedRow. Ignore selections whose queryIdField value is not numeric,
including comma-separated string IDs from series or selectDistinct results;
preserve the existing behavior for valid numeric IDs.
In `@specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/useQuerySplitView.ts`:
- Around line 65-71: Replace the polling interval in the useQuerySplitView
effect with a result-arrival signal, such as a results version or loaded
callback threaded from QueryResultsWrapper. Make the effect select the first row
only when a new result set arrives, while preserving the existing split-view and
selected-row guards; ensure it does not run indefinitely for undefined or empty
results and does not reselect after QueryBuilderResults clears selection on
close.

Move the table === undefined guard below the useMemo calls.
Line 184 returns before the three React.useMemo calls at Lines 186, 190, and 198. This calls hooks conditionally. If table changes between undefined and a table, React throws a hook-order error. The react-hooks/rules-of-hooks lint rule also reports this as an error, so lint will fail.
The memos do not need table: makeDataViewQuery receives tableName, and fields derives from definition. Move the guard after Line 201.

Does Jest 30 throw an error when a beforeEach or afterEach hook returns a non-Promise value?
💡 Result:
Yes, Jest (including version 30) throws an error if a beforeEach or afterEach hook returns a non-Promise value [1][2][3]. Jest explicitly disallows return values from hooks and tests that are not a Promise or undefined to ensure consistent handling of asynchronous code [1][4]. This behavior was established in previous versions to prevent common bugs, such as accidentally returning a value from a test or hook when it was not intended to be asynchronous [1]. Consequently, if a hook returns any value other than a Promise (or undefined), Jest will fail the test and throw an error indicating that the hook must return a Promise or undefined [5][1].

Gate the split-view controls behind the query execute permission.
Lines 136-145 render both toggles unconditionally. QueryBuilderResults returns null when the user lacks /querybuilder/query execute permission, so the results pane never appears. A user with only the queryBuilder tool permission — a combination that hasAccess in Wrapped.tsx allows — sees two controls that do nothing.
The adjacent QueryLoanReturn block already follows this convention, and hasPermission is imported in this file.

Guard row selection against non-numeric result IDs.
loadedResults[rowIndex][queryIdField] as number is a TypeScript cast only. For series (smushed) or selectDistinct queries, the first column can be a comma-separated string, for example "1,2,3". The row click then stores that string in selectedRows and passes it to handleSelected. The split-view record preview receives an invalid ID.
The nearby code already treats this case specially: isDistinct at Line 447 disables QueryToForms and CreateRecordSet for the same reason. Apply the same guard here.
🛠️ Proposed guard
onRowSelected={(rowIndex): void => {
- const id = loadedResults[rowIndex][queryIdField] as number;

Replace the 200 ms polling loop with a result-arrival signal.
Line 67 starts an interval that only stops when selectFirstResult() succeeds. Two reachable cases have no exit:
- The user opens the query builder with
splitViewByDefaultenabled and does not run a query.resultsRef.currentstaysundefined, so the interval polls for the whole page lifetime. - A query returns zero rows.
findnever yields an id, so the interval keeps polling.
The loop also overrides user intent. QueryBuilderResults clears the selection in its onClose handler (setSelectedRows(new Set())). This effect then re-selects the first row about 200 ms later, so closing the preview does not persist.
resultsRef is a mutable ref, so React cannot observe it. Please expose a results-arrival signal instead — for example a results version counter incremented by QueryResultsWrapper, or an explicit onResultsLoaded callback — and select the first row from an effect that depends on that signal.
🔧 Sketch of the suggested direction
- React.useEffect(() => {
- if (!isSplit || selectedRows.size > 0 || selectFirstResult()) return;
- const interval = setInterval(() => {
- if (selectFirstResult()) clearInterval(interval);
- }, 200);
- return (): void => clearInterval(interval);
- }, [isSplit, selectedRows.size, selectFirstResult]);
+ /*
+ * `resultsVersion` is incremented whenever results are (re)loaded, so this
+ * effect reacts to result arrival instead of polling a mutable ref.
+ */
+ React.useEffect(() => {
+ if (!isSplit || selectedRows.size > 0) return;
+ selectFirstResult();
+ }, [isSplit, selectedRows.size, selectFirstResult, resultsVersion]);Add resultsVersion to the hook parameters and thread it from the component that owns result loading.
If a signal is not practical in this PR, please at least cap the retries and skip the retry when results are loaded and empty.

Row Selection
- Select a row in the results.
Clicking the checkbox will add that record to selection, but clicking anywhere to the right in that row will remove currently selected records and select only that one. Query Builder allows clicking anywhere in the row to add that record to current selection, which should be matched here.

Data changes on Records vs Results
- Modify a field on the form that is also displayed in the query results table.
- Save the form.
- Verify that the change is reflected in the query results table.
- The change is not always reflected in a clear or timely way. It can cause a bit of lagginess, but it edits are shown in results eventually.
- Records are re-ordered in the query when changes to records are made though no changes to the query (i.e., sort pref) are made. For example, in the CE query, I added a selected an option for the sampling method field on two records. After the changes were saved, the records were ordered alphabetically by the sampling method value in the results. Changes to data on the records should not affect the ordering of results without a change to the query definition itself.
Screen.Recording.2026-09-08.at.2.38.18.PM.mov
Deletion Issues
- deleting a record will de-select records that are currently selected and select only the first one in the results.
Screen.Recording.2026-09-08.at.2.42.09.PM.mov
- deleting a subview from a record moves that record to the top of results.

App Resource
- The Data View Queries resource is added to the user level for the user that opens/uses data views first. I had to add the resource to the discipline level.
- I expected this resource to include JSON/dot for queries for default data view tables (i.e., CO, CE, Agent, Accession, etc.).
- Show all tables checkbox is included but all tables are shown. We should limit table list to only custom ones or remove option
- Show all tables checkbox moves up with search results. Should be stationary at the bottom.

Misc (not crucial but good for UX)
Can we please add a default query for each table included in the data views dialog? Loan and Gift include no unhidden fields and are thus blank upon selection. I mention this below in the App Resources section of my review, but I think these default query definitions should also be included in the DataViewQueries app resource.

I think this would be stronger if we had #8510 |

Re @bronwyncomb, responding to only points I have comments on:
This was intentional. Selecting anywhere makes sense in the Query Builder, but what if you want to see immediately the new record by itself? Would you have to keep deselecting the previously selected rows?
Yes, intentional.
It does not work this way because the defaults would not be updated when we pushed changes through new Specify releases. The approach and philosophy are to commit as few changes as possible. The defaults apply when no custom configuration is provided.
Are you absolutely sure? If you hide a table in the schema, it should be hidden unless "Show All Tables" is checked.
I think this is desirable. If you’re searching and nothing shows up, wouldn’t you prefer to move your mouse a shorter distance? The checkbox, in all other contexts where this list is visible, has the same behavior (app resources, schema config).
By default, many fields on Loan (and Gift) are not hidden. The actual bug is that the default query for those tables only contains a "TimestampModified" field that is hidden. specify7/config/backstop/data_view_queries.json Lines 887 to 906 in e4598da |

I pushed fixes for Gift and Loan queries. Added deafult table formats and aggregation to make it possible. |

No, you already see the most recent record when "stacking" selections because it constantly shifts you to the end when adding records to the selection.
ok sweet! was not clear in issue or instructions so good to clarify
Same as last one tbh
I mean, yeah, sure, but the current behavior for record formatters & form definition visual editor is to only show what tables have a custom view, not just dependent on schema hidden/unhidden status. So, this dataViewQueries resource behavior was unexpected to me and came off as a reduction to intuitive usability. Maybe just rename it to reveal hidden tables?
hmm I guess I have a different opinion on it then. i think it should stay where it's at and that it looks unintentional most of the time. the potential for helping in a closer more obvious mouse click vs looking like a mistake is hard to discern. maybe renaming it will help. or, move it below the search and above the tables to avoid my interpretation?
Right, I want a non-blank query when you open it up since the only field in the query is timestamp modified, which is hidden from the query and thus leads to users opening up a blank data view and needing to customize the query for it despite loan/gift being in set of default tables available for selection in the initial dialog blank view because the only field for default view* is hidden it its query: "default view"=in this dialog by default:

I had the same experience as @bronwyncombs. Before reading this discussion, I thought this behavior was a bug. While selecting multiple records, I accidentally clicked beside a checkbox and lost my previous selection, which was frustrating. Even if this is intentional, it was not clear to me as a user.
