What are the steps to reproduce this bug?
Drop one of the following pb elements onto a page in the editor (without any further modification of the element's settings):
- basic
- icon
- image gallery
- layout
- grid
- carousel
- tabs
- accordion
- form
- form
- embeds
- soundcloud
- vimeo
- youtube
- iframe
- social
- code
- codesandbox
Preview the page (no matter if published or not).
What is the expected behavior?
To see the newly dropped element or at least a placeholder noting "this element is not yet fully configured" (or similar).
What do you see instead?
The newly dropped element is not visible at all.
Additional information
The elements are are not saved (updatePage mutation won't get called) upon dropping the listed elements.
The following elements trigger the updatePage mutation immediately upon dropping it onto a page:
- basic
- heading
- paragraph
- button
- list of pages
This inconsistent behavior lead to quite some confusion in my team currently evaluation webiny. I believe the behavior should be consistent.
This concern was first raised on Slack.
Possible solution
Trigger the updatePage for any element being dropped onto the page (in the pb editor) and have elements, which need some settings to correctly render, a "fallback" to render a warning about not being fully configured.
