Bug graveyard
,
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Embed a base inside a callout.
  2. Try to edit.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Yes. Tested in sandbox.

Expected result

Expected editing to work exactly as in the rest of a note.

Actual result

What I’ve noticed so far:

  1. When clicking on elements of the base – e.g. changing view or opening filters, the base and callout collapse to source code.
  2. Changes made to the base are often not saved.

@WhiteNoise I see “ Fixed interacting with Bases inside callouts” being listed in the 1.9.7 changelog but I am still experiencing massive issues with (inline) bases in callouts. Do you have more specific information on what was fixed and thus what I should and should not expect to work?

  1. Changes in bases in callouts are not saved for me (on 1.9.7). I can add properties or filters via the UI (filters appear to misbehave too, currently trying to understand what is going on) but then editing the underlying markdown in source code reveals that despite the changes (temporarily) showing in the UI, the underlying markdown remains entirely unchanged. When I edit the exact same inline base but outside a callout, it’s saved just fine.

  2. The base is rendered differently in Edit and View mode, for example different property sets (two properties in one view, one property in another). This is again not true for an inline base outside a callout. This point may just be a consequence of (1), i.e. the unsaved inline base probably being cached per view mode and changes thus not translating when switching view modes.

thanks we’ll double check this

Editing a codeblock base in a callout won’t be possible in v1.9.8.

Please, open a feature request for this.
