CMS Bug: Wix Collections non-referencable

Experiencing a bug in the CMS (using the good ole Editor). I have here a collection I made a while ago that hasn’t been populated with any entries since creation as I’ve yet to finalize the data structure I’d like. Anyway… each entry requires a Member Id (referenced to Members/PublicData collection created by Wix) in order to connect a user to their vote. However, I went into the Editor to work on the collection when I noticed the “Public Data” Members collection is missing from the reference list. It was there before, and even when I manually add an entry into the collection, I can select a user from the referenced collection.

The issue is that I’d like to connect this field to a different collection (Members/PrivateData) which is also missing. So what am I missing?

// Bottom of collection list. All collections created by Wix are not available for reference (such as Badges, Coupons, etc.)

You need to enable the display of Wix collections. To do this, “CMS” >> “More Actions” >> “Advanced Settings” >> Wix App Collections activate the switch

For reference , this is me accessing CMS in Wix’s Studio Dashboard as opposed to the Editor.

I’m the only one with access to the Dashboard and have not altered any configurations recently, I wonder how this ended up being disabled in the first place… This has solved my issue! Thank you.

This was caused by an update to the Wix Editor version. Also, when updating, it is possible to automatically add sections (for half of my pages, sections were added crookedly, but this is easy to fix), change site styles, and so on.
Since the project is constantly evolving, sometimes there are such unpleasant surprises.
Also, with the latest update, the limits for CMS for premium plans were reduced by 1000 times: from 10 GB to 10 MB (corresponding to 10,000 records for all collections). Be careful.
