Symptom / Error
The Layout Editor is completely non-functional across your entire CRM instance:
Field visibility changes (hiding or unhiding fields) fail to save
After clicking "Save," fields revert to their original state
No changes are reflected on actual record pages
Affects all CRM modules (Leads, Accounts, Intake Opportunities, Referral Sources, etc.)
Cannot unhide mandatory fields required for lead conversion or data tracking
⚠️ Note: This is different from individual field hiding issues — this affects the entire Layout Editor system's ability to save any changes.
Cause
This indicates a system-wide bug affecting the Layout Editor's database communication. The interface appears to function normally, but changes are not being committed to the database, causing all modifications to be lost upon page refresh or navigation.
Solution
⚠️ Critical: Do not continue attempting to save changes — this is a complete system failure that requires professional technical intervention.
Stop making changes to field visibility immediately. Further attempts will not resolve the issue and may cause additional complications.
Contact Dazos Support immediately. This requires a Jira ticket for developer intervention.
When contacting support, provide:
Your CRM instance URL
All affected modules (typically all modules in the instance)
Specific fields you were trying to hide or unhide
Screenshots or screen recordings demonstrating the issue
When the issue first started occurring
Await developer resolution. The development team will investigate the database communication issue and implement a fix.
Once notified the issue is resolved, test the Layout Editor across multiple modules to confirm the fix is working correctly.
Verification / Expected Result
After the development team resolves the issue:
Layout Editor changes will save and persist properly
Field visibility modifications will be reflected on actual record pages
All CRM modules will respond correctly to layout customizations
Mandatory fields can be properly unhidden for lead conversion and data tracking
Escalation
Contact Dazos Support immediately if you experience this issue. This is a high-priority system bug that requires:
Jira ticket creation for the development team resolution
Backend database investigation
System-level fixes that only developers can implement
