When a merchant opens the configuration of a custom Flow action (config_page_url), our page is handed the step_reference of a previously opened step - not the one the merchant
clicked. It’s one step behind.
We read the current step the following way:
shopify.intents.register((registeredIntent) => {
const step = registeredIntent.type;
});
The mismatch - opening the config for one step, all three sources disagree:
- Admin URL (correct step):
…&step_reference=0b30e23… - App Bridge intent in the iframe
(shopify.intents.register((i) => console.log(i.type, i.action))):intent.type = gid://flow/stepReference/9e708d4…←
stale
- iframe src:
…/configuration?…&step_reference=9e708d4…← stale
Impact: merchants view/edit the wrong step’s config (and overwrite it on Save). Since both the URL param and intents.register are stale, the extension has no way to recover
the correct step - the only correct value is in the cross-origin admin URL, which the iframe can’t read.
Could you please look into this? Please let me know if you need any additional details.
