Document created without ID in console

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.

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.

Check the SDKs, share some screenshots and steps to reproduce

I'm just using the Coolify

What version were you on?

1.8.1

Your console version doesn't match the official installation version

7.8.31 console

So you upgraded from 1.7.4 to 1.8.1. how exactly did you upgrade?

Created new appwrite instance with custom version

For upgrading? That won't work

No, just new instance

Ok sure

I created a new instance with a new version. I didn't update the old one, I deleted it

Same thing applies though. This version of the console is not the version from the official installation

https://appwrite.io/install/compose

but it was like 7.8.32. I'm writing this from memory because I'm not at my laptop right now

Wow, okay, understood

You can always get the latest installation files from the docs: https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/installation#manual-installation
