After the October 24 update (Changelog #0261), I can no longer insert or edit text fields in the Railway Data tab if they contain quotes or punctuation like "?" or "!".
The changes just don’t save — the value disappears or stays empty.
Example (fails):
One "?" or "!" per question/exclamation
Before the update everything worked fine.
If I connect directly via psql or DBeaver using the same credentials — it works perfectly, so PostgreSQL itself is fine.
Seems like the new “Secure Database Access” proxy (which now routes dashboard queries through the private network) is not properly escaping or serializing text when sending it to Postgres.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open any Postgres DB in the Railway dashboard
2. Edit a text column and type something with quotes or punctuation (like above)
3. Click Save
4. The cell resets or the value disappears
Expected:
The text should be saved exactly as written.
Environment:
- PostgreSQL via Railway
- Issue started Oct 24, 2025
- Works fine via external SQL clients
