I have multiple pages that need access to a data store but when adding the component to each page, the schema needs setting up to be available in the data picker despite it having the same name as given on another page. Could there be an alteration to allow it to access the schema of another data store in the same project if it has the same name?
If you put the data store on the main page/layout page - it will be available to all includes/content pages.
This is a PHP project with separate pages (not routes within a main page)
If you add it to a PHP include file, won’t it then be available in all the pages which include that file?
Thanks Jon,
It doesn’t appear so:
I made the following section and converted it to an include:
each had a schema
On another page they’re added but the schema is not present in the picker:
What’s even worse is that when creating the PHP Include, the contents that move to the file no longer show their schema - now it’s not available on any page, even the page it was originally from.
I then tried opening the PHP include file and adding the schema there. It doesn’t show on any page’s picker other than the include page
Are the App IDs the same for the different pages? If so, and the Data Store components have the same IDs, I would have thought the settings should be available in each page, without having to redefine them.
If the App IDs are not the same, then changing them might resolve the problem, but might cause other problems with other data pickers. The settings are stored in dmxAppConnect\config.js. It might be worth having a look at this file. Eg if you need to keep the same App IDs, duplicating a block of code might be quicker than redefining the Data Store variables manually.

Thanks @TomD,
I think copy/paste from the config file might be the way forward, for now. Changing all app IDs to match hasn’t helped.
It does seem like something that could be improved in the UI so will leave the feature request running.
I think this should help. Perhaps it's necessary to restart Wappler to clear caches etc. If it doesn't work, perhaps it's a matter of reporting a bug rather than making a feature request. Or it might well be that my understanding of how this works is incorrect.

Thanks @TomD; I appreciate the help.
Restarting didn’t help. I’m not sure it’s a bug, rather something that hasn’t been added yet for separate pages.
I’ll work around it for now, it’s just extra time for something that I feel should be quick and easy.
That’s strange. I experimented creating a Data Store and accessing it from different pages. The settings were available from each page if the pages had the same App ID; if I changed the ID, the settings were no longer available. This is how I understood it works, but hopefully someone from the Wappler team will be able to help.
