S.list()

Is this one specific document, or will the document change based on dynamic values elsewhere in the studio?

Hmm, I’ve only had that error the first time I create a defined page like this - it usually goes away after I publish the document.

Try adding this to the bottom of your structure definition:
It will add an additional item only available in development that will list all document types.

process.env.NODE_ENV === "development"
				? S.listItem()
						.title("All Document Types")
						.child(
							S.list()
								.title("All Types")
								.items([
									// This returns an array of all the document types b
									// defined in schema.js. We filter out those that we have
									// defined the structure above
									...S.documentTypeListItems() /* .filter(hiddenDocTypes) */,
								]),
						)
				: S.divider()
With this you can navigate to your document type and see if your documents exist there.

the weird thing is that these missing id doesn't exist in my model/schema. I have nowhere 
featuredNewsArticle
and 
latestNewsArticle

^^ The JSON output should help us understand this

.child(

S.list()

.title('Articles')

.items([

S.documentTypeListItem('newsArticle').title('All News Articles').icon(ImNewspaper),

S.documentListItem()

.schemaType('latestNews')

.title('Latest News Articles')

.icon(ImNewspaper)

.child(S.document().schemaType('latestNews').id('latestNews')),

S.documentListItem()

.schemaType('featuredNews')

.title('Featured News Article')

.icon(ImNewspaper)

.child(S.document().schemaType('featuredNews').id('featuredNews')),

//S.documentTypeListItem('latestNews').schemaType('latestNews').title('Latest News Articles').icon(ImNewspaper),
 
//S.documentTypeListItem('featuredNews').schemaType('latestNews').title('Featured News Article').icon(ImNewspaper),
 
S.divider(),

S.documentTypeListItem('articleCategory').title('Article Categories').icon(FiList),

]),

);

Could you go back to where you’re having the error.
• In the top right select inspect.
• Screenshot the parsed JSON
Dec 2, 2021, 12:07 PM
id is latestNews but on cms its showing missing id latestNewsArticles. 😶
Dec 2, 2021, 12:11 PM
Looks like you need to delete the document, then return to where you’re seeing the error and recreate it there.
Dec 2, 2021, 12:12 PM
OR change the id in the structure to match what it actually is
Dec 2, 2021, 12:12 PM
already changhed the id in structure but i guess i have to delete and recreate it. Can you share the doc delete cmd??
Dec 2, 2021, 12:14 PM
You can delete from the bottom right of the editor
Dec 2, 2021, 12:17 PM
ive deleted but same issue is there as you can see.
Dec 2, 2021, 12:18 PM
Yes - the UI is showing but you haven’t actually created it yet
Dec 2, 2021, 12:20 PM
its same,
Dec 2, 2021, 12:20 PM
it looks like desk structure issue,
Dec 2, 2021, 12:21 PM
Yeah, I’m not sure what’s wrong then.
Dec 2, 2021, 12:24 PM
Try setting an 
id
on the document list item:

S.documentListItem()
  .id('featuredNews')
  .schemaType('featuredNews')
  .title('Featured News Article')
  .icon(ImNewspaper)

(if you don't have any custom needs for the child editor, you don't have to specify the 
.child()
for what it's worth)
