I have been using automations where I add formulas to update fields. It stopped working in the last few minutes. It is also not possible to edit formulas previously added.  
The formula popup appears but it is blank and not editable.

😬  
Oh dear. Do you know what the formula was?  
Maybe you can ping us in the chat with a link to / screenshot of the automation and we’ll see if we can figure out what went wrong

Hi Chris, it is very simple to duplicate. The problem exists on all automations of all spaces.

Oh wow 😬  
Does it persist after closing and reopening the browser?

Ah, you ask the right questions. Closing and reopening the browser fixed the problem. I think the reason was I was working as a new update was pushed. Solved thanks.
