I’m receiving null with:

let itemObj = $w("#myDataset").getCurrentItem();

/*  
 *  {
 *    "_id":                "fcec780a-3e37-4b64-8a66-37c552c53f99",

Now getting null

It was working but it stopped working.

It works with

$w(‘#dynamicDataset’).onReady(() => {

})

But why?

If it was working before but not now, what did you change?

Did you bind the #myDataset to the collection?

I have the exact same issue on a different site, also happened yesterday and still not working today:
https://www.avivbertele.com/AllCourses/Aleph

$w.onReady( function () {
let itemObj = $w(“#dynamicDataset”).getCurrentItem();
console.log(itemObj);
}
});

Returns a null.
didn’t change anything and was working before.

@danielwi I suspect that the problem is that the dataset is not yet ready and therefore there is no current item to return.

You should wrap your code in a dataset.onReady() to ensure the dataset is ready before trying to use it.

It is definitely a BIG glitch it has messed up my site, I had that function implemented in different places and I’m only noticing up until now that where it stopped working. So it’s better the team take a look at it.
