Notion Node: Database properties are not refreshing and show blank entries

[o0jindouyun1998-hub]

Bug Description

When using the Notion node to create a new database page, the 'Properties' field fails to load all available properties from the connected Notion database.

The list of properties appears to be cached and does not update correctly. If a property is deleted from the database in Notion, it is not removed from the dropdown list in n8n. Instead, it leaves a blank, unselectable space, which is very confusing.

This issue prevents the correct mapping of data to the Notion database and makes the node difficult to use, especially when the database structure changes.

I have tried refreshing the node parameters and reconnecting my credentials, but the problem persists. The attached screenshot shows the incomplete list of properties.

To Reproduce

1. Create a Notion database with several properties (e.g., 5-10 properties of various types).
2. In an n8n workflow, add a Notion node.
3. Configure the node with the following settings:
   • Credential: Your Notion API credential
   • Resource: Database Page
   • Operation: Create
   • Database: Select the database created in step 1.
4. Under the "Properties" section, click on the "Key Name or ID" dropdown to load the properties.
5. Go back to your Notion database and delete one of the properties.
6. Return to the n8n editor and refresh the node's parameters (using the refresh button in the node's settings).
7. Click on the "Key Name or ID" dropdown again.
8. Expected behavior: The list of properties should update, and the deleted property should be removed from the list.
9. Actual behavior: The deleted property leaves a blank space in the dropdown list, and the list is not correctly synchronized with Notion.

Expected behavior

The properties dropdown list in the Notion node should accurately reflect the current properties of the selected database in Notion.

When a property is deleted in Notion, it should be removed from the dropdown list in n8n after the node's parameters are refreshed. The list should not contain any blank or empty entries. All existing properties should be visible and selectable.

Hi @JTiscodin,

I have a critical update that clearly demonstrates the bug.

I switched to using the database "By ID" to rule out any discovery issues. However, the node is still failing to load a specific property.

As you can see in the screenshots below, my "Brainstorming Log" database in Notion has a "Related PRD" (Relation type) property, but it is completely missing from the properties list in n8n. Other properties are loading correctly.

This confirms that there is a bug in how the Notion node parses or displays database properties, specifically affecting the Relation type in my case.
