Desktop icons fail to appear despite correct configuration.
The issue involves desktop icons not appearing on the desk despite correct configuration, with an error suggesting incorrect workspace sidebar setup. The problem requires investigating the icon creation process and workspace sidebar linkage, but the root cause is unclear.
Creating a desktop icon is not working. At first when I created a desktop icon and connected it to a sidebar from the Desktop Icon form, it worked perfectly — it appeared and took me to the workspace sidebar. But suddenly, after I created an icon from the Desk UI (/app/home → Edit), all newly created icons stopped appearing on the desk at all.
I tried to replicate the previously working icon (POSNext, created by an app) by matching every possible field value, but the new icon still doesn't show up.
Moreover, when creating the icon from the Desk Edit menu, it appears but keeps showing this error:
"Icon is not correctly configured please check the workspace sidebar"
...even when connecting it to the correct sidebar.
Working:
{
"name": "POSNext",
"label": "POSNext",
"icon_type": "Link",
"link_type": "Workspace Sidebar",
"link_to": "POSNext",
"parent_icon": null,
"sidebar": null,
"icon_image": null,
"standard": 0,
"app": null,
"icon": "message",
"logo_url": null,
"hidden": 0,
"bg_color": "gray"
}
My icon (does not appear, same structure):
{
"name": "Test",
"label": "Test",
"icon_type": "Link",
"link_type": "Workspace Sidebar",
"link_to": "Accounts Setup",
"parent_icon": null,
"sidebar": null,
"icon_image": null,
"standard": 0,
"app": null,
"icon": "accounting",
"logo_url": null,
"hidden": 0,
"bg_color": "blue"
}
Moreover I tried creating a new workspace sidebar having the exact name of desktop icon and connecting it but also not working
