The ability to edit LightDB state variables in the console just disappeared

Golioth Device Help
1

Description

I’ve been adding\removing\editing LightDB state variables in the web console for a year and now all of the editing features appear to be missing. It reports the variables but there is no way to edit them anymore? Can we get this functionality restored?
I’ve tried on multiple Projects, Devices, and web browsers with the same result.

Steps to Reproduce

In the console, select any device and click on the “LightDb” state tab. ie. Golioth
Last week there were options to add\remove\edit variables and values. Now the variables show up in a list with no way to edit or change them.

Expected Behavior

Each variable should have add\edit\delete actions near them and they did last week.

Actual Behavior

LightDB state variable show up as a JSON list but there are no edit icons anywhere

Impact

Unable to test, debug, or make changes from the Golioth console.

Environment

The console.golioth.io console doesn’t have any alternates and this is independent on SDK, OS, etc.

Logs and Console Output

N/A

Attempts to Resolve

I tried it on multiple projects, multiple devices, and on both Chrome and Edge browsers with consistent results.

Hey John,

We’ve recently updated the UX here to allow in-line editing of the JSON for LightDB state. This enhancement was based on a number of users asking for an easier way to edit. Now you just edit the JSON in the text area and hit “save” to update the state.

I’ve attached a GIF of the new editing experience. If you see something different here, if you can attach screenshots or a video that would be helpful for us to debug. Thanks!

The Reset and Save buttons were greyed out and I didn’t think to try and edit the text directly. I can edit the variables using this method and agree that it’s a better method than what was previously available.

We can close this topic. Thanks!
