@kocharrahul7 @akash-codemonk this seems like a bug in the new flow we introduced. How did this get missed in testing?

@kocharrahul7 @ginilpg @Nikhil-Nandagopal The Generate Page With Data implementation right now, is adding the data and widgets to the currently selected page, not to a new page. Hence, when the current page's canvas area is not empty, the error Unable to process page generation request, please use empty layout is displayed, as there is no space on the canvas to add the generated widgets. On the other hand, when a new page with an empty canvas area is used, the Generate Page With Data adds the data and widgets to the same selected page. Is this the intended functionality or the Generate Page With Data should directly create a new page with the data populated widgets?

@NilanshBansal this is weird. It should do it on a new page and not the current page.

@akash-codemonk Discussed this with @NilanshBansal, this seems to be a front end issue. The solution to this would require calling the new page API, and then passing the new Page ID generate CRUD API.

You can discuss this with @NilanshBansal when you are back in office.
