I wanted to try the 'New datastore Query' page to edit an entry this morning, and had serious issues with it:
- It initially said that I had to enable the Datastore API (it never did this before, the datastore API has always been enabled). Someone else mentioned this a few days ago. After this, I could browse my data. However ...
- I opened an entry,  changed 1 field, and clicked "Update Entry". After this, the entry disappeared from my database. Even through the old viewer, I can't find the entry anymore.
- I tried editing another entry in a different table, and the same thing happened, entry gone! This one, I can still find in the old viewer, but all the fields are gone, it's an empty record.
- Now, when accessing the datastore query page always gives me a message dialog with "Server error".

The data loss is quite scaring me.

Has anyone else observed this?

I haven't used the new query tool much. I tried to edit an entity a few days ago, but it had a "List" type and the tool warned me that there could be a problem if I chose to save, so I hit cancel. I noticed that it was also not possible to delete fields within that entity, presumably due to the List type. I did not experience any data loss.

If this is the case it's very serious.   I'll ask someone on the cloud tech support team to reach out to you and see if you can reproduce it together.

Hi Luke,
is this the reason that new Query tool been rolled back. I have old version again. Can't wait to get the new one back. Do you know when we should expect that to happen?

Thanks
