Entries not recognizing parent folder
Since the last few updates, my existing entries (and new ones) do not recognize my folders anymore.
For example, I have a folder named "0. Management" and have a few RDP entries added in there. If I edit an existing entry, it'll show a blank folder under the folder drop-down menu, and if I click on the ... button next to it, I can't see my folder in the list. I have to either a) Finish editing the entry and then drag and drop it back to the folder, or rename the folder (which somehow fixes the problem) and then edit the entries.
Below is an example of what I'm talking about. You can see the folder name now (because I've had to rename it to get it to re-appear), but it'll be blank when the issue occurs:

Hello,
These folders are surely Virtual Folders. When you rename the folder, it will transform it into a physical folder in the database.
You can check in Help - Diagnostic - Data Source to see how many Virtual Folders you have in your data source.

Hi Ricky,
This is due to a bug in the last few beta builds that has now been fixed and will be available in the next beta.
Until then you have a few options:
- as Érica mentioned, you can convert your virtual folders into real folders, simply edit the folder and change something (name...)
- Allow "virtual folders" for now until the bug is fixed - Administration > Data Source Settings > check "Allow Virtual Folders"

Hi Stefane,
I've checked the Help - Diagnostic - Data Source and I do see 2 virtual folders. However, I don't know what they are and don't believe I have ever created them. I have always created folders by right clicking on the root of the data source -> New Entry and select Folder (Group).
Furthermore, this issue is specific to my Local Data Source. As this is a local data source, there isn't a "Data Source Settings" under Administration. I do have a SQL Server data source that I'm connected to, and in there I can go to Administration -> Data Source Settings -> Check "Allow Virtual Folders". However, I don't use the SQL Server data source much and in fact I have only just recently added it to my RDM. It is the Local Data Source that I'm using 99% of the time and is the one I'm having issues with.
If this is a known bug, that's OK, I'll wait for it to get patched in the next update.
