> ⚠ **This is a template you must use to report issues**. ⚠ I migrated my project from v7 to v8. I added a new Collection and a `hasMany` Smart Relationship from an existing collection to the new one, like follow: ```javascript collection("ExistingCollection", { fields: [{ field: "hasMany_NewCollection_targetField", type: ["String"], reference: "NewCollection._id" }] }) ``` and the relationship was not showing up in the Layout Editor. Existing smart relationships are displayed, and the endpoint responsible of the new relationship is returning data, which I found confusing. So I thought it was related to the new development workflow, as it seemed to me it was only a UI issue. Thus I migrated my project, installed the forest-cli, ran an init to setup the development environment. When I started the project, my existing collection was gone, along with few others (I believe they all have a `hasMany` relationship like the one I was trying to add). Now I’m stuck, fortunately this is only on the Development environment, and does not impact (at least for now) my Production environment. ## Feature(s) impacted > Please describe in this **mandatory section** the feature(s) that will be discussed in this topic. - Smart Relationships - Layout Editor ## Observed behavior > Please describe in this **mandatory section** the current behavior you observe. Collections containing `hasMany` Smart Relationships are hidden. ## Expected behavior > Please describe in this **mandatory section** the behavior you are expecting. Collections and Smart Relationships must be shown. ## Context > Please provide in this **mandatory section** , the relevant information about your configuration: - Project name: Pinpo Admin - Team name: Operations - Environment name: DEVELOPMENT - Agent type & version: “forest-express-mongoose”: “8.6.7” - Recent changes made on your end if any: Migrated to v8 and project to new development workflow. ---

Hey @fbeiger, and welcome to our community 👋 Could you share (Here or as DM) the real collection name that disappear (So I could check on my end if I’m able to spot the reason)? Also, I can see that you did not create a branch on your development environment. I’m pretty sure that’s not the issue here, but could be worth trying. Could you also check if that collection & the associated relationship are correctly set in your `.forestadmin-schema.json`? (I can see on my end that you development environment & your production do not share the same schema, which is a good new if you introduced a new field/collection) Thanks in advance 🙏 ---

Hi @fbeiger 👋 Can you confirm the issue happen only on smart relationship ? ---

Hi @Arnaud_Moncel As I mentioned, 2 Collections disappeared as well. I suspect it is because they have a similar `hasMany` Smart Relationship, but I don’t really know for sure. ---

Something I just figured out, I migrated my project to the new development tools without asking the support, it may have an impact. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/f/f270412510ac1b39f4c965f706df37ef12f20999.png) ---

I see a thing on our end, The Agency model seem to be empty on your rendering. But it seem well configured on your `.forestadmin-schema.json`. I didn’t see any errors on our side, so it is pretty strange. I suggest you to create a new development environment and try again to see if the issue persist or not. In order to understand what happen, how do you create this environment ? let me know 🙏 ---

Hey @Arnaud_Moncel, I already deleted and recreated the development environment, and the issue was still persisting. I just followed the steps given in [Development workflow - Developer guide](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/getting-started/development-workflow) : - I installed `forest-cli` - Ran `forest init` and pretty much press ‘Y’ for every question asked - Ran `yarn start` to start the project ---

Hi @fbeiger after long research, the issue probably come from the definition of two smart action. One based on `Agency` model with `Exporter les leads` name and on the field `Tags (au moins un des tags sélectionnés)`. And another based on `AgencyFeature` model with `Exporter les leads` name and on the field `Tags (au moins un des tags sélectionnés)`. All these fields are `['Enum']` type and the `enums` option does not allow `null` value. Can you remove this options and restart your server please? And let me know if it fix your issue? 🙏 ---

Hey @Arnaud_Moncel, it seems to have done the trick! Thanks a lot. Indeed the field `Tags (au moins un des tags sélectionnés)` was was based on another object and a variable was missing. Thanks again for your responsiveness! ---

Hi @Arnaud_Moncel, I have another issue that may be related. After fixing my schema, I did some changes again then uploaded a new schema using my CI. On the other hand I did some changes in my layout (in the my Development environment, on the “leads” branch) and when I tried to `forest deploy` my changes I had the following message: `× Source and destination environments must have the same schema. Please check your environments code is synchronized.`. I went to see the Layout on my Production env, and there is a missing Smart Relationship on the `Agency` collection: `hasMany_Lead_originAgency`. Everything works fine on my Development env though. ---
