Previously Imported Component has Disappeared

Posted on by CScarterlowe

I have imported a component from a component library to a canvas app and have been using it. Today I came back into the app and updated the component library since it had updates. Well now I cannot see the previously used component. I can see it on the screens but I can't select it to use it again. It is completely missing from the insert area. Anyone have a solution to this? Could be a setting I guess... we do have co-authoring on.

@CScarterlowe

Hi there,

yeah that was honestly going to be my next suggestion. should have included it as I told the other people the same thing and it worked for them.

I believe that the back end metadata has been messed up based on the updates. By removing and putting them back it got recreated.

Sorry for your headaches

@Michael E. Gernaey I did find a solution and have marked as answered although it certainly isn't ideal. Have you seen someone find and easier method?

It was happening for all users. No one could see it. The following (very annoying) steps worked:
Update component library
Remove all instances of the component in question
Save and publish
Exit app
Re-enter app
Component is now selectable again

Hi @CScarterlowe

Hmmm.. .actually you are not the first person to mention this. And I havent yet seen like a great solution.

You can try rolling back the Ux studio to the previous version

You could try rolling back the App version, but no idea what that would cause your headachs to explode.

Does everyone else see it like this too?
