Describe the bug / error

As mentioned on this closed issue: https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-docs/issues/9253, it looks like there is still a bug on the settings panel of a SPFx teams tab.

When I try to edit the settings I got the "you added a new Tab-Dialog" after that the settings panel does not load the current settings but the initial settings. I can alter the settings and save it. The new setting are accepted and working but it is very confusing that the current settings get lost each time I click configure.

Steps to reproduce

Edit the settings of a SPFx teams tab on the new Teams desktop client

Expected behavior

That the settings panel loads the correct current settings and not the initial settings

Also facing the same issue. Tested on both older and newer versions of SPFx.

We have the same issue. Effectively there is no way to edit settings for the SPFx app in Teams Tab.

we have facing the same issue in New Teams. Any update?

FYI : we have upgraded the solution to SPFx 1.18.2

Hi,

any update on this issue, when will it be fixed? will the fix be part of next release?

We have noticed that, when we change webpart settings in new teams - but it seems that everytime you edit the webpart settings (of a existing tab), it generating a new webpart instance id.

FYI : Clearly there is something wrong with the URL replacement. Technically a new tab will be generated (because the tab-url is not available anymore).

I'm using spfx 1.18.2

Also looking for an update - this is affecting our product which is globally distributed. Our clients are looking for an update as soon as possible. Thank you!

@nick-pape Any update on this? Is it even on the radar of the New Teams developers?

I opened a Microsoft Support case and this was the response:

Thanks for contacting Microsoft support regarding unable to update channel tab configurations.

As discussed over call, please use classic teams instead of New Teams. As confirmed during call you are able to classic teams without any issue. Please request to your client to use classic team until it will not be debugged.
