Azure Data Factory - Cannot open nested pipelines by double clicking on them.

Hi Everyone,

My apologies if this is not logged/asked in the correct place, please point me to the correct location if needed.

 

I am having a strange but frustrating issue with data factory. When working on pipelines, specifically nested pipelines, I cannot open child pipelines by double-clicking on then.

For example, I have a pipeline "Run stuff" with 3 nested pipelines (Run first thing, run second thing, Run third thing).

When I double click on one of those pipelines, nothing happens, I need to click on "Settings" then on "Open" and only then my pipeline will open.

 

Oddly enough, this is not an issue for opening dataflows within a nested pipeline, it’s only a problem when I try to open pipelines.

 

The issue seems trivial, but when navigating hundreds of pipelines, it does become frustrating.

This issue was first reported by one of my colleagues and then the rest of the team started to experience this issue.

    Solution: It seems like this issue auto-resolved itself. From about 09:30 SAST on 2024/09/12 we noticed that we can double click on the pipeline again to open up the pipeline. Looks like an intermittent issue.

    If I missed anything please let me know and I'd be happy to add it to my answer, or feel free to comment below with any additional information.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thank you again for your time and patience throughout this issue.
