Maximum call stack size exceeded - how to find the element?

needtheanswers · 2025-08-08T19:15:12.448+00:00

Hi, I’ve somehow managed to get the "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error again. Now I can’t find the element, formula, or variable that’s calling itself. What’s the best way to track it down? Can I find it in the console log? If yes, where exactly? Thanks a lot!

Console log won't work since the app can't load
You'll likely have to jsut work backwards to see where the bug was introduced

Use show hide on a section at a time
E.g. if the root element has 3 children then try hiding them one at a time until the error goes ways
Then repeat down the path where you see the error
We just talked about adding an achievement for getting that error

That’s NOT what I wanted to hear, lol. Too bad there isn’t a fast track. But hopefully I’ll learn my lesson and be more careful next time 🥲.Thank you both for your help!

Fast track is look at the last thing you added

I've seen this happen from external items (either libraries being loaded in or an API going rogue) or custom formulas/actions
I don't remember hearing about any other cases

The thing is I was working on some other pages for days now and I don‘t know how long the error on this specific page has been there for.. this makes it even worse

Dont be careful next time. Debugging is where you learn.

We get it all the time since almost everything in the editor is recursive

We were only half joking about the achievement. It is a milestone
We are getting very close to releasing the editor
Then you can see for yourself self

no need, I've seen plenty just from the demos
just the tree alone is a nest of recursion

Yes. The formula editor is worse though
