Move the "regenerate" link away from the "copy" link

Hi - can I suggest you move the “Regenerate” button far away from the “Copy” button on the API v2 Token page? One missed click there could break A LOT of stuff all at once (not that it has happened to me or anything :grimacing:). Maybe also put a safety on it, like you have to click a second time to confirm that you REALLY want to regenerate your token. Thanks!

That’s a great point about the drastic effects that could have on any connected services.

It happened to our team and it completely broke our automations, it took a lot of manual labor to fix, and the users were quite unhappy.
The regenerate link should be moved away from the Copy link AND ask for confirmation.
You almost never have a good reason to regenerate your token so it’s fine to waste one second confirming Regenerate.
You often need to copy your token to create a new automation (or to update existing automations after Regenerate happened :sweat_smile:).

Hi @gregg,

Just a head’s up, I moved this to our apps and API feature request queue to try and get more support from the developers working with monday!

We will post any plans for this request in the thread if it’s added to the roadmap.

Best,
Rachel

Fantastic! Thanks! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
