Hello, While reviewing applications which I do not have access to, I am unable to see the configuration of the queries or aggregations inside the app. This makes it impossible to understand someone else’s app without asking for edit access. Consider making the Query and Aggregation pop ups appear in view only mode. ---

Thanks for the feedback, @danielpomeranz. To help prioritize: How often approximately do you run into this? And what’s your use case - are you planning to eventually edit this app e.g. because you’re debugging something, or are you hoping to to learn from it to e.g. write your own version? ---

Organizations with multiple developers and approvers need to be able to understand each other’s apps, but some orgs do not want to have multiple editors at a time. Aggregation configuration is critical to how apps work. Related– can this be seen in the app diff viewer? If not then no way to properly review how an app handles data. ---

Happy to say, this has rolled out in [r350](https://support.tulip.co/docs/platform-release-350-december-2025#view-configuration-for-readonly-apps)! ---

Nice job feeding two birds with one seed on this one @tcvs @OlgaStroilova Being able to click on record placeholder where used is a big timesaver too! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/d/d0a60579edc4aca5a5b233af54569689701e17da.png) ---

@OlgaStroilova @tcvs I have been asking this to Tulip since November 2023. I am glad now we can see these Query/Aggregation configurations. With r350, we still cannot see what Datasource of a widget is. Please let us see this as well. For instance, on non-Readonly mode, we can see that this Datasource “image” is actually a field from a Table record place holder named “rp”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/a/a55eea9c5297c7097e2a555ff2cdca150641c96c.png) However, on Readonly mode, we cannot even tell whether this Datasource is a “Table record” or not (it might be a “Variable”). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/4/4de06c5a4f2bf5906e325b49a7f482fe81228c13.png) ---

Thank you @danielpomeranz and @ta-aoki . We’re happy to be able to make progress here. @ta-aoki , thank you also for the additional Datasource visibility improvement flag. I’ll pass this along to the team, and we will start a separate product suggestion for it. ---

Dear Olga-san, Do you have an update on widget Datasource visibility ? As I informed in the previous post, we do see the name of the Datasource but we cannot tell whether if it is a Variable or a Table record placeholder. Today, I found that we cannot even see the name of the variables/placeholders for the colors. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/8/8dfa95deb4ce835e4a3a40eeb0132a9dc6ec8dda.png) Please also let us see them in Read Only mode. ---

Hello @ta-aoki , We don’t yet have a timeline for this, but I’m checking with the team and will provide an update here if/when we’re able to pick it up again. Some reasoning and context: changing this behavior across widgets would be a bigger effort. We made a one-off change above, but it doesn’t generalize well.
