If you’re using v3, and it’s about query_result. Then, the fix is merged: https://github.com/getredash/redash/pull/2165

(It would be much easier for us to understand your situation if you could just fill in the issue template.)

I would like to ask what is the best and easy way to apply newer changes which has not been released such as the commit

What you did is probably good enough if you just need a small fix. Otherwise you can either upgrade to the CI version or use a beta release when one is available.

Also I’m closing this now, as @rajsharma1612 never followed up and looks like this is indeed already fixed.
