XM Cloud - Site folder not visible in "insert from template" dialog box

Hi Team,

Recently, While working on XM Cloud, I ran into wired issue, I did create multiple sites and create templates inside templates->Project-><<my sites folder>>

Now i wanted to now start creating pages from those templates, so i right clicked on my home item of the site and selected "insert from template" option so i can select my "Blog Folder" template and can start creating my Blog items inside it, But with my surprise, it was not showing my site folder at all and i was puzzled as to how do i select my template and why it is not showing those folder? and surprisingly other site which i have it was showing it fine


My template->Project folder actually had those site folders and templates inside it


Solution

I just compared both folder's template and with my surprise the one which was showing fine i.e "TrainingLab" had "/sitecore/templates/System/Templates/Template Folder" and the other site which was not showing had "/sitecore/templates/Foundation/Experience Accelerator/Multisite/Project Folder "

i did not know the reason why both were different, but may be "TrainingLab" was not created locally, but it was created in Cloud by using "Create Site" button, and pulled into my local using serialization, while the other one "BasicSiteA" was created locally using "Create headless site" option when you right click on "Headless Site Collection", So may be there is some different scaffolding happening in different processes.

But i decided to change the template of my "BasicSiteA" to "/sitecore/templates/System/Templates/Template Folder", i just did that and it started showing in the "Insert from Template" dialog


Because i was unsure of what will be consequences of this change, i decided to raise a support ticket and ask them about this behavior and they came up with following

I am able to reproduce the same behavior in my XM cloud instance and the reported behavior is not expected. This behavior has been registered as a bug in our bug tracking system. Thank you for reporting the problem.
To track the future status of this bug report, please use reference number 582905. 
More information about public reference numbers can be found here: https://support.sitecore.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0853187
 
As you have reported in the ticket earlier, the workaround of this issue is to replace the template with /sitecore/templates/System/Templates/Template Folder - {0437FEE2-44C9-46A6-ABE9-28858D9FEE8C}. Unfortunately, this is the only workaround that we are aware of.

 So until the bug is resolved this is the correct workaround to get unblocked, I hope this will help others finding the solution to this puzzle

If you think you also have faced the same issue and you tired of reading MSDN KBs for it and still have not found the issue (If KB has solved the issue, well and good, if not you can try this trick),Please Read below Typical scenario In typical hosting with IIS, i did every possible things like enabling windows authentication, changing it in web.config, configuring connection pool, authorization rules, it asks me for window authentication login and despite of entering correct credentials it always fails and keeps on asking for login, and when pressed cancel it gives 401.1 with 0xc000006d error code Solution (Which worked for me at-least after trying for almost 6-9 hrs) You need to change the Loop Back Check in registry so that it allows the host names which you are giving in url are allowed and au...

Error in Sitecore 10.3 XM with CDs - Could not find configuration node: database/database[@id='master']

Hi Team, Recently we came across two distinct scenarios with same error message.  1) We started getting below error when we try to hit our layout service API endpoint. If we hit end point of CM, it was working fine and when we try to hit end point of CD it was giving this error, It was clear there is something in backend expecting master DB instead of WEB DB In first scenario my colleague  Jatin  also got same issue while setting up docker instance for 10.3, and my friend  Akshay Barve  and I had the same observation. 2) Second scenario I was having the same exception, It was another project on 10.3 XM with CD, It was one of the migration project so we were migrating from 10.2 to 10.3, Older site was not giving any error but new site the moment we hit, it was giving same exception in the log Issue in second scenario was in site grouping there was only site and both CM and CD URLs were given in host name and had WEB db as database, so basically there was no previ...
