Getting a chat prompt displaying multiple times

Hi,
I’m trying to build a chatbot that is having an option to display predefined example questions, or the questions provided by the user and be in Paused State if not doing anything. I’m getting my data and everything displayed. But my chat prompt is displaying multiple times. I’m attaching my code as well as the screenshots of what I’m getting, It’d be great if anyone could help.

`# Function to reset the password input field

    st.session_state.password = ""

    password = st.text_input("Please enter the password:", type="password", value=st.session_state.get("password", ""))
    st.session_state.password = password

        if authenticate(password):

                st.error(f"Error executing the query: {e}")
    else:
        st.error("Please enter a valid SQL query before running.")`

Screenshots:
Step1, select any option:


Step 2, You’ll be getting a resulting query, then Click ‘Run Query’

Step3, You’ll get the result table displayed after running the query, but you can see that there is extra empty chat prompt is there

Step4, I’m selecting a different question this time,

Step 5, Now the queries are getting removed from the UI and there is only prompt and the resulting table left for the previously asked question and the previous prompt is repeating 4 times, as you can see in the below screenshot.

Help me fix this. Thanks to everyone for interacting.

Hi @iqra-s! :wave:

JFYI - I’ve changed the category of your post from “Show the Community” (where folks typically showcase demos and apps) to “Using Streamlit,” so you can get more focused help regarding the issues you’re facing with your Streamlit apps.

This should help you connect with others who have experience troubleshooting similar problems! :slight_smile:

Best,
Charly
