Changes to Open Data site will not save!

C_EHoward · ‎03-16-2015

I created a new open data sie today so I could change some content around without losing my current site. For the last several hours, any changes I make to the text in a 'widget' on my site in the design layout tab will not save. I press 'done' and 'save' and no changes. When I try and leave the page, it asks if I want to leave since I have unsaved changes.....which apparently I do. My changes appear in the widget but not when I try and look at the site, and they do not persist if I log out and back in.

What is going on? How can I proceed?

This response doesn't directly address the inability to save changes, but I have uncovered a bug in the "Dataset Map" widget. Here's what the ESRI Tech Support staffer wrote to me:

As per our discussion and the observed behaviour, we have logged a bug with ID 000086559 for endlessly spinning wheel while configuring the Open Data homepage for Open Data site. I hope the issue will be taken care of soon.

This suggests that they are having some issues with the interface on the design layout tab. It may be related to your inability to save the page.

Thank you Alex. I saw the problem with the 'dataset map' as well but did not log the bug for it.....so thanks for doing that. I have not been able to get that function to work ever on Open Data so I just chalked it up to being unavailable. Glad it will get addressed (hopefully)

Yup just found this out as well. The Data Listing Widget is buggy. It worked fine before the March 2015 Update W

Work around I did is make a new group (ie OPEN DATA STUFF 2) in ARCGIS online make sure you check the Designate as avaiable for Us in Open Data. ADD any feature services you want to be in the Data Listing Widget. In Open Data Manager.

Go back to your OPEN DATA Manage Websites choose your respective open data website ---> Go to Manage Data Tab Then ADD the new group you made to the Selected Open Data Groups. Its a Temporary FIX but it works.
