Cannot Select, View or Delete the Dataset Element from any page

Hi, currently I am unable to select or delete (or even view) the Dataset element on my pages.
I try to do the following:

Open Tools>Layers.
Click on item ‘dataset1’, screen ‘goes towards’ where the item has originally been places, but it is not seen nor is the layer selected (blue color).
When I select any other layer (buttons/text/repeater) it does select the element and when I press ‘delete’ or when I right-click I can adjust the settings.

Somehow I am unable to view the datasets on my wix pages, and even via the Layer panel I am unable to select them. Also when I click on the dataset via the Layer panel and then hit ‘Del’, it remains untouched.

What I in the end try to do is change the settings of the dataset, however first I try to select or at least see it.

Any suggestions?

I do can do the following things: ‘Hide in Editor’, and ‘Turn on Spotlight’. However the latter results in just an entirely black screen. If I then randomly right-click in the screen, it clearly doesn’t show the right-click menu if I’d click a dataset.

I also tried to do this with code, but unfortunately the code doesn’t entirely work. I copied it from the wix site, so probably there is something I have to change to make it work.

import wixData from 'wix-data';
// ...
$w("#dataset1").setSort( wixData.sort()
  .ascending("id")
);

I see by the way with all the ‘trying to add datasets’, I currently have #dataset1 to #8 as elements shown in my Layer tool. Unfortunately, not a single one can be selected or removed.

I’m ok with the invisible undeletable layers if we can get this code to work, so I can at least publish the page :slight_smile:

Kind regards,
Igor

Did you find the solution for this issue. I am facing exactly same issue and unable to find a solution yet.

I did not find any solution at that time, unfortunately. I worked on some other things of the website, and somehow a month later or so when (I think), I logged in from another network and/or machine to the wix editor, I all of the sudden saw 9 database icons on my screen…

So, weird bug, unknown thus far :confused:

Thanks. This seems to be a bug. I tried it from Microsoft Edge Chromium. The dataset was not visible however Setting option appeared once I selected dataset in layers. I was able to make the change which I was trying to do.

I had the same issue. I logged in with Chrome and it worked. Didn’t work in the latest Edge browser. (By works I mean I see the dataset objects and can edit settings and such)
