’s tutorial on how to create internal and external link. Everything worked fine until I added multiple types of internal links (references). Since than, the Studio started glitching.What is happening:
1. I click the internal link button (reference to
tool) and the
spanis created but there’s no link and no lookup appear.2. I can delete the “link” but can’t edit it. When I click the edit button (pen icon), nothing happens.

The other buttons related to other content types (
topic,
term) work most of the time but it is not 100%. The problem is that I don’t have a clue where to start looking. No console errors, no regular behaviour. The code has the same logic:
annotations: [
{
name: "toolLink",
type: "object",
title: "Tool Link",
blockEditor: {
icon: () => <div>A</div>,
},
fields: [
{
name: 'tool',
type: "reference",
to: [
{type: 'tool'},
]
}
]
},
{
name: "topicLink",
type: "object",
title: "Topic Link",
blockEditor: {
icon: () => <div>L</div>,
},
fields: [
{name: 'topic',
type: "reference",
title: "Reference",
to: [
{type: 'topic'},
]
}
]
},
{
name: "termLink",
type: "object",
title: "Term Link",
blockEditor: {
icon: () => <div>B</div>,
},
fields: [
{name: 'term',
type: "reference",
to: [
{type: 'term'},
]
}
]
},
{
name: "link",
type: "object",
title: "URL",
blockEditor: {
icon: () => <div>🌍</div>,
},
fields: [
{
title: "URL",
name: "href",
type: "url",
},
{
title: "Open in a new window",
name: "blank",
type: "boolean",
},
],
},

Hey
user M
! Unfortunately, I'm unable to replicate this. What version of the Studio are you running? Are there any errors in the console when you click on the edit button?Jun 29, 2022, 4:55 PM

Hello, I run the latest version (will find exactly). and I see no errors 😕

ooookay, I got it 😄 What happened (maybe it will help others)?1. I started with one type of internal link call
Thank you.
internalLink.2. I change the name of it to
toolLinkand added two other types –
termLinkand
topicLink. Then the glitches started (no errors anywhere).3. Today, when I was looking into JSON in Inspect view, I spotted the original
internalLinkin related
markDefs.4. I cut the raw text from Block content, saved the post, pasted the raw content back and successfully added the link. Now the
_typesare correct.So it seems like the text preserved the original span with
internalLinktype. When I tried to add another link to the same text, it couldn’t work because the original
_type
internalLinkdid not exist anymore.

is there something on the technical side I should do in differently? My project is still very early in the development but I also work simultaneously on the content. Not the optimal way, I know 😉Thank you.

Thanks for outlining your steps for a fix here. It sounds like the
internalLinkmark existed in the data but no longer in your schema, so the PTE's brain got a bit fried trying to display it. I would have thought that the Studio would have thrown an error when it came across a block that wasn't defined in the schema, though 🤔 .
