No worries, glad to help.

I am having the same trouble; in the table designer where you put Query, I put this:

{"_objectId":"508a12abe4b06210489f7eb6"}

I tried upper case Id ad lowercase id on _objectid and I still get a blank response. the key is correct, 508a12abe4b06210489f7eb6 it has been triple checked.

I can query by other fields and get the proper response but not when querying with objectId.

Have you tried to use _objectId in a curl command?

[RichardGolko]

I have no idea what you mean by that. I have a designer to work with, that is all.When you suggest things like that please iinclude more information like how to do what you suggest in details. This is now going on 3 weeks and I can't get a simple query for a single user to work.

A curl command is what Parse shows here: https://parse.com/docs/rest#queries. It can be invoked from the command line (after installing the curl client). You need to show which query you are trying to run or show the actual curl command.

[RichardGolko]

what's a curl client? where do I get it? This is a bug in the designer -- it does not query by the _objectId but does on other fields.

[maxkatz]

It seems to work:

I don't know how your collection looks, but maybe you don't need "_" in _objectId. The name has to match exactly what you have in the collection.

[RichardGolko]

The second record has _objectId= 50843489e4b0f5348a3d0206

Press Query on this screen and enter the query:

{"_objectId":"50843489e4b0f5348a3d0206"}

run the query and no records show.

II also tried single quotes; I tried _objectId with lower case i and uppercase i

It doesn't work in the designer, and no matter what I try for the GetUser service doesn't work either. I have shared the project if you care to take a look at the GetUser method in the UserLogin form. I've struggled with this and this is the third week; not your fault but I just don't get why it won't work and it's a showstopper.

I thought you were using Parse as you posted in this thread. I don't think it's a bug in the builder, it's a bug in the database that it doesn't return the user. We'll fix it.

[RichardGolko]

Any way to query by a single _objectid yet? (I need to get a single user back from the Users table -- can you get this to work with the Tiggzi db and show me how? It's a showstopper for me. Thank you.
