What are the exact steps to reproduce this issue?

Hello,

I am using Baserow Cloud and I am trying to publish an Application Builder application to the custom domain:

crm.automatikasolutions.com

The application works correctly in Preview, but every attempt to publish fails with the following error:

“Something went wrong during the publish_domain job execution.”

The DNS has already been configured correctly:

CNAME: crm → baserow.io

We have confirmed that crm.automatikasolutions.com resolves correctly to Baserow infrastructure.

We have identified three failed publication jobs:

Job ID 792079
Job ID 791990
Job ID 791954

The custom domain exists in the Builder, but last_published remains null, because the application has never completed a successful publication.

The application itself works correctly in Preview. We have also checked its basic structure and have not found duplicate routes, broken references to pages/tables/fields, or missing assets.

The application contains approximately:

35 pages
417 elements
60 data sources
94

Hi @automatiika

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

The failed publish job points to a dropdown element on the page “Editar proyecto”.
Because the action isn’t visible in the editor, the way to remove it from the UI is to remove the element it’s attached to:

  • Open the page Editar proyecto in the editor.
  • Select the choice element (dropdown) on that page and note its settings — label, options / data source, default value, required, and any styling.
  • Delete the dropdown element.
  • Publish.

This should now succeed.

Add a new dropdown element in the same place and restore the settings from step 2, then Publish again.

We have worked on a fix but not sure when it will be deployed so if you need to unlock the situation quickly try the steps above.

Let me know how it goes.
