I am working on some experiments with the new collections function. After some puzzling and reading, I think I understand the structure. But for some reason, I’m unable to make the data visible in the edit/preview mode. The properties from the collections json file appear in the Inspector Pane, but adding new data doesn’t work (for now). If anyone would like to take a look at where the error might be, I would be greatly helped. [Test project](elementsapp://downloadDocument/gTNm7xh1atSB) ---

Hi @Bartje, happy to take a look but you’ll also need to share your Dev Pack! ---

Okay, here we go! The short answer is you need to change the title from “test” to “bubbles” in the info.plist of the collection. The longer answer and some tips on debugging is in the video below… ---
