Editing Item In Repeater Mysteriously Stopped Working??

I have a repeater pulling items from a database. For each item that displays there is an Update button that sets session variables and edits the item on a user input form. This had been working last time I used it. Has something changed?
Here is the code:
Source Repeater code:

// For full API documentation, including code examples, visit Velo API Reference - Wix.com
import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’;
import wixData from ‘wix-data’;
import wixLocation from ‘wix-location’;
import {local, session} from ‘wix-storage’;
import wixWindow from ‘wix-window’;

let DashNo = session.getItem(“CarId”);
console.log("Session Dash " + DashNo);
let eDate;

$w.onReady( function () {
let CarId = session.getItem(“CarId”,CarId);
$w(‘#headerDash’).text = CarId;

$w("#dataset1").setFilter(wixData.filter() 
  .eq("dash_no", CarId) 
) 
.then(() => { 
  $w("#repeater1").forEachItem( ($w, itemData, index) => {

let repeatedElement = $w(“#iDate”);
let D_String = new Date(itemData.entry_date)
let D_Locale = D_String.toLocaleDateString(“en-US”)
repeatedElement.text = D_Locale
} )
.then(() => {
$w(“#repeater1”).show();
})
})

});

export function updateButton_click(event, $w) {
let $item = $w.at(event.context);
let CarId = $item(“#headerDash”).text;
session.setItem(“Edit#Sel”, “Edit”);
session.setItem(“CarId”,CarId);
session.setItem(“eDate”,eDate);
}

export function deleteButton_click(event) {
//Add your code for this event here:
}

export function refreshButton_click(event) {
$w(“#dataset1”).refresh()
.then( () => {
console.log(“Done refreshing the dataset”);
} );

Input / Update Form Code:

import {session} from ‘wix-storage’;
import wixData from ‘wix-data’;
import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’;

$w.onReady( function () {

let formType = session.getItem(“Edit#Sel”);
let CarId = session.getItem(“Car-Id”);
let eDate= session.getItem(“eDate”);

console.log(CarId);
console.log(eDate);

if (formType === “Edit”){
$w(“#dataset1”).setFilter(wixData.filter()
.eq(“Dash_no”, CarId)
.eq(“Entry_Date”, eDate)
)
} else {
$w(“#saveButton”).label = “Submit”;
}

});

What has changed in the Wix API. This was working fine six months ago or longer???

Note: the update form is a dynamic page.

Since no one responded I deleted the dynamic page and went back to a regular page update form. Used session variable “_id” to load data from repeater item. Still have no idea why the previously working dynamic page update form stopped working!

Probably what is affecting your code is that $w.at() has been deprecated for some time. The devs gave a good long grace period, but you should check out the updated docs pertaining to the $item selector:
