Plugin Duplication Bug Fix

Plugin Duplication Bug Fix

Version Implemented: 0.229.001

Issue Summary

When creating new plugins/actions, the system was duplicating all existing plugins instead of just adding the new one. This resulted in multiple copies of the same plugin appearing in the database.

Root Cause

The issue was in the save_personal_action() function in functions_personal_actions.py. The function was always generating new UUIDs for plugins, even when updating existing ones:

# Problematic code
if 'id' not in action_data or not action_data['id']:
    # Always generate UUID for ID to avoid conflicts
    action_data['id'] = str(uuid.uuid4())

When the frontend saved plugins (which sends ALL plugins back to the server), existing plugins without preserved IDs were treated as new plugins and assigned new UUIDs, creating duplicates.

Solution Implemented

Modified the save_personal_action() function to:

1. Check for existing plugins by name before assigning IDs
2. Preserve original IDs when updating existing plugins
3. Only generate new IDs for truly new plugins

# Fixed code
# Check if an action with this name already exists
existing_action = None
if 'name' in action_data and action_data['name']:
    existing_action = get_personal_action(user_id, action_data['name'])

# Preserve existing ID if updating, or generate new ID if creating
if existing_action:
    # Update existing action - preserve the original ID
    action_data['id'] = existing_action['id']
elif 'id' not in action_data or not action_data['id']:
    # New action - generate UUID for ID
    action_data['id'] = str(uuid.uuid4())

Files Modified

• functions_personal_actions.py - Fixed the save_personal_action() function
• config.py - Version bump to 0.226.085

Testing Results

✅ Plugin creation works correctly - New plugins get unique IDs
✅ Plugin updates preserve IDs - No duplicates created when updating
✅ Multiple plugins work - Can have multiple different plugins
✅ Deletion still works - Individual plugins can be deleted properly

Impact

• Resolved: Plugin duplication when creating new actions
• Maintained: All existing functionality (create, update, delete)
• Improved: Database integrity and user experience

Version

Fixed in version 0.226.085
