Solved: Re: Cannot add Form View (Position 'ref') to Dashb...

"Hello AppSheet Community/Support,

I am building a restaurant reservation app and am trying to create a dashboard (Reservation Dashboard) that includes a date picker (Select Date view) and a filtered table of reservations (Daily Bookings Table).

I have successfully created:

Date_Selector Google Sheet: A single-row sheet with a SelectedDate column (e.g., 01.07.2025).
Date_Selector AppSheet Table:
- SelectedDate column is Date type, Show? is TRUE, Editable? is TRUE.
- _RowNumber is set as the Key.
- Table settings allow Updates only.
Select Date AppSheet View:
- Based on Date_Selector table.
- View Type is Form.
- Position is ref.
- Auto save is ON.
- Finish view is set to Go to another view (targeting Reservation Dashboard).
- Show? property (under Display) is TRUE.

Problem: When I go to my Reservation Dashboard view's settings (UX > Views > Reservation Dashboard) and try to add views under View Options > View entries, the Select Date view does not appear in the dropdown list of available views to add.

What I've tried (and confirmed):

The Select Date view itself works: If I temporarily set its Position to main, it appears in the app's main navigation, the date picker is visible, and I can successfully change the date.
There are no visible errors or warnings in the AppSheet editor.
I have cleared my browser cache multiple times.
I have tried using different web browsers (e.g., Chrome and Edge).
I have deleted and recreated the Select Date view multiple times.
The Date_Selector Google Sheet has exactly one row with a valid date.

It seems like the Reservation Dashboard is not recognizing Select Date as an embeddable view, despite all settings being correct.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this or investigate if there's an underlying issue?

Thank you for your help!"
