This has happened a lot of times (now with 5.8.2 but and with previous version 5.5.1):
While on Server Action editing, when I add a Database Update action the connection is missing!
I was just ignoring it until now (delete the “broken” database Update and add it again until its connection is OK…) but if I can do something about it it would be very nice.
(this morning, I’m trying for 15’ to add a database Update without success…)
Whenever I come across an empty field for the Connection name, I just save the API. Even though it shows an error for the missing db connection, the save action populates the db name correctly.
That is helpful for a lot of people but doesn’t help if you have more than one DB connection. This is something that has been reported a lot and I’m sure would be appreciated if it were resolved
I’m not saying that anything is caused by multiple connections but the proposed workaround has problems in situations where there are multiple connections.
I have seen it plenty of times and clearly others have too as I’ve seen it reported lots over many months. It occurs in DB connections and security provider restrict steps. At a guess I would say it is a timing issue that the drop-down list isn’t ready when it is rendered - most notably when computer resources are stretched. I’ll try and reproduce with an error log but it is inconsistent
