Title of uddashboard not updating when pages as endpoints

Universal Dashboard Universal Dashboard Help
1

I have a dashboard (2.8.2) that uses pages that call scripts in endpoints:

New-UDPage -Name "Home" -Icon globe -Title "HOME" -Endpoint{}

This however affects the -Title on the dashboard and does not allow it to update for each page, it remains as the title defined in the line:

$Dashboard = New-UDDashboard -Title "BASIC" -Pages $Pages -Navigation $Navigation

Also the tab text remains ‘Powershell Universal Dashboard’.

If i then change the endpoint to -Content (New-UDPage -Name “Home” -Icon globe -Title “HOME” -Content{}) it all works as expected, the title and tabs all update…

Test code here (replace -Endpoint with -Content and it will work):

Get-UDDashboard | Stop-Uddashboard

# Create Dashboard - Pages
$Pages = @()
$Pages += New-UDPage -Name "Home" -Icon globe -Title "HOME" -Endpoint{
    .("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Data\Pages\Home.ps1")
}
$Pages += New-UDPage -Name "Test" -Icon globe -Title "Test" -Endpoint{
    .("C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Data\Pages\Test.ps1")
} 

# Create Dashboard - Navigation
$Navigation = New-UDSideNav -Fixed -Width 225 -Content {
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Home" -PageName "Home" -Icon Home
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Test" -PageName "Test" -Icon hourglass_half
}

# Dashboard Start
$Dashboard = New-UDDashboard -Title "BASIC" -Pages $Pages -Navigation $Navigation
Start-UdDashboard -Dashboard $Dashboard -Wait

This is running in IIS.

Any ideas?

I never dot sourced the page Endpoint/Content.
I cannot explain why your code is not working this way.
Maybe you can try my method and include the New-UDPage in your ps1 pages (Home.psq & Test.ps1).

Sample Code:

Home.ps1

New-UDPage -Name "Home" -Icon globe -Title "HOME" -Endpoint {
    #some logic
}

and this is your main function/script:

Get-UDDashboard | Stop-Uddashboard

# Create Dashboard - Pages
$Pages = Get-ChildItem "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Data\Pages" -File | %{
        & $_.FullName
    } 

# Create Dashboard - Navigation
$Navigation = New-UDSideNav -Fixed -Width 225 -Content {
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Home" -PageName "Home" -Icon Home
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Test" -PageName "Test" -Icon hourglass_half
}

# Dashboard Start
$Dashboard = New-UDDashboard -Title "BASIC" -Pages $Pages -Navigation $Navigation
Start-UdDashboard -Dashboard $Dashboard -Wait

Hi, thanks for the reply!

I have tried many ways of calling pages and dot sourced was just the easiest way at the time however that is not what is causing the issue (but thanks for the alternative)!

If you run the code with no reference to page source code it does the same thing which is where i get stuck:

Get-UDDashboard | Stop-Uddashboard

# Create Dashboard - Pages
$Pages = @()
$Pages += New-UDPage -Name "Home" -Icon globe -Title "HOME" -Endpoint{
}
$Pages += New-UDPage -Name "Test" -Icon globe -Title "Test" -Endpoint{
} 

# Create Dashboard - Navigation
$Navigation = New-UDSideNav -Fixed -Width 225 -Content {
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Home" -PageName "Home" -Icon Home
    New-UDSideNavItem -Text "Test" -PageName "Test" -Icon hourglass_half
}

# Dashboard Start
$Dashboard = New-UDDashboard -Title "BASIC" -Pages $Pages -Navigation $Navigation
Start-UdDashboard -Dashboard $Dashboard -Wait

I see, seems to be a bug as I can reproduce this also in my project (v2.8.2).
Please open an issue on GH:
