Hey everyone! Look for a bit of insight / assistance. Basically we have a client that is having trouble adding / updating content: Sanity keeps giving this message:
waiting for tasks to finish before publishing, then Says desk tool has crashed
I have attached the Sanity Version we are running for them. This has started to happen quite a bit on the latest version, I have noticed the Desk tool crashing on a few projects running the latest Sanity. I have looked for a way to downgrade but have not found a way that works anymore.

no help or insight, but i've been noticing the same thing since about 2.29 i'd say.

is there anything the sanity team is aware of on this?

Thanks
user G
At least I’m not alone 😄 - I would say you are correct on your versions, It only started happening after updating to 2.29 and now still on 2.30

Hey
user D
! What does the schema for one of these documents look like?

Wow! This is a very large document! To clarify, are you doing field level translations on all of those `localeBlock`s?
Jun 29, 2022, 4:50 PM
user D
Have you been able to capture any errors from the browser console?
Jun 29, 2022, 5:03 PM
user M
Haha yeah it’s a very big site, lots of data. Thats correct, we are doing field level translations on most fields 🙂.

user A
Let me see what I can get (I have attached a screenshot I got from the client). I will do some editing on the Studio and will post what I get back.
Jun 29, 2022, 7:52 PM
Interesting. It might help to see the JSON of that document, if possible.

Thanks

I will get this for you. Is there anyway for me to cleanly downgrade Sanity at the moment?
Jul 4, 2022, 9:50 AM
I think the easiest way is probably to run a command like 
sanity upgrade --tag=2.29.0 --save-exact
. It will remove the caret(s) in package.json and prevent further upgrades unless added back.
You can also delete node_modules and your lock file, hard code package.json to the versions you want, then 
sanity install
.

Awesome! Thanks so much 🙂

You just saved my butt because I had a new view I was pushing and decided I'd be thoughtful and update to 2.31.00 with the new search, only to see that the weird "one doc at a time" glitch was there even though we still needed the new view.
