I am clearing through my issues and the below has appeared and is an ongoing issue. Each time I want to navigate between pages it is insisting that I send workflow data. I do not understand why I am getting this an issue - the function works just fine with it.
When I try and put is some data just to stop it complaining i get errors and and I am worried I am going to break my app over something I do not really need.
It is probably that your pages are set up with a “Type of Content” … maybe the first page you created had something set, and then you duplicated the page ?
Will that break the functions o my page though? I never set this myself -it is the editor with the yellow top like the print screen above. I say yes please change it and then the logic I was writing at the time started to work.
The problem is I have no idea when I used this for what.
Do you know why and when you would use this field and what for? why would you put anything in there?
You need to look to see if the page is using “This Page’s thing” anywhere.
That is what this is doing, setting a page to be a particular thing so you can refer to it in your elements and workflows.
So if you have a page about a user, the content type would be user, meaning you don’t have to do a search all the time or set a custom state on page load. And it persists over browser reloads. You don’t HAVE to use it of course.
If you have a landing page, or a list of users - then you probably don’t need a page thing at all.
So if you go into the page properties (right click on the page element in the editor) and set the content type to blank… and see what happens to errors. If your page is not using the page type, then you should not see any errors. If there are MORE then you can track down what you page is doing.
If you don’t think you are using them, then you are probably not, so removing the content type would be the best thing to do.
