Hi team,

I’m experiencing an issue in the Appwrite console. When I create a document in a collection via the Collections UI, the document gets created without a $id — it’s literally empty.

I’ve already tried:

  • Restarting the Appwrite instance
  • Refreshing the browser / logging out and back in

…but nothing helps.

This happens only through the console; I haven’t tested SDK/API yet. The document seems “created,” but the ID is missing, which makes it unusable.

Environment:

  • Appwrite version: appwrite:1.7.4 / appwrite/console:6.1.28
  • Self-hosted

Is anyone else seeing this? Could be a UI bug or something wrong with the instance.

TL;DR
Issue: Documents created in the Collections UI are missing $id in the console, making them unusable. Suggestions: - Restarting the Appwrite instance - Refreshing the browser / logging out and back in - Upgrade to the latest version No reported issue found; could be a UI bug or instance problem. Test with SDK/API.

I don’t recall seeing any reported issue like that. It shouldn’t even be possible on the API level. Is the document created properly or you get an error?

Regardless, I would recommend upgrading to the latest version

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve already upgraded to the latest version, but the issue persists. Creating a document via the Collections UI still results in an empty $id. No error is shown — the document appears created, but the ID is literally blank.

This only happens in the console; I haven’t tested API/SDK yet.
