I have a self-hosted temporal server with a workflow that takes 1 minute and runs every night. I use the same workflow id for each execution, because there should never be any overlap between workflow runs. I can see that each run is assigned a unique, random run id. This is working correctly.

In the Web UI, I can see a row for each run of the workflow, with the same workflow id and a different run id. However, when I select a old run (using the link in the Run ID column), it always shows me the history of the most recent run.

The page url is in the format “workflows/workflowId/oldRunId/history”, so i would expect to see the history of the old run, but all the information on the page is for the most recent run.

What am I missing?

FYI I have filed an bug report issue with screenshots for this in the Temporal UI Github repo.

> <https://github.com/temporalio/ui/issues/1901>
>
> \*\*Describe the bug\*\*
> Given two workflow executions with the same workflow id an…d unique run ids, you cannot view the history of the old run, only the most recent run.
> 
> \*\*To Reproduce\*\*
> Steps to reproduce the behavior:
> 
> 1. Execute a workflow with the same workflow id twice so that each run has the same workflow id, but different run ids
> 2. Open the UI workflows page.
> 3. In the RunID column, click the run id of the earliest execution of the workflow.
> 4. The resulting page shows the history of the most recent run, not the run you selected. 
> 
> \*\*Expected behavior\*\*
> I should be able to click on a specific run of a workflow (even if there are multiple runs for the same workflow id) and see the history for that particular run, not the most recent run.

> The URL of the resulting page is seemingly correct, as it displays the older run id in the form: http://localhost:8080/namespaces/default/workflows/sharedWorkflowId/oldRunId/history
> 
> However, the actual page still shows the info of the most recent run, not the run id in the URL.
