Can not edit collection type item in the admin panel

Questions and Answers
4

Hi all, I’m seeing a similar issue to the one above but with different errors. I have a work around for now, but thought I’d share this with you for debugging purposes.

Steps to reproduce

  • I’m using the default blog template found in this tutorial https://strapi.io/blog/build-a-static-blog-with-gatsby-and-strapi

  • Add a new field to a Collection Type (in this example the Category Collection Type)

  • Hit ‘Save’ button

Errors

  • ‘An error occured’ pop up in admin panel UI

  • Page stuck on loading spinner

  • Console shows no error but is stuck at this position:

  • Navigating to /admin/plugins/content-manager/collectionType/application::category.category/7 to edit an entry the new field shows as disabled with No permissions to see this field placeholder.

Workaround

  • This seems to only happen on first load of the admin panel. Refreshing the page seems to resolve the issue.

  • The new field is enabled again and subsequent saves work until you restart a strapi again and start a new session.

Thanks for all your hard work.
