Dynamic page variant can't be set

Issues
1

What are you trying to do?
We have page variants and url parameters. based on URL parameter we pick the variant. This has been working for a lot of months, but recently it was seen this was not working anymore. We have not changed anything and it actually looks like a bug, because the variant is not selected even by using the plasmic preview functionality.

What are the reproduction steps?

  • Set url parameter
  • Create page variants with changes. Set dynamic code picking up the giving url parameter to define which variant to pull
  • Check when navigating to that url the variant is not selected
    Also
  • Use Plasmic preview, change the variant to render using the dropdown. the variant is not render

Hi @full_breaker, welcome to the community.

Thank you for reporting that preview mode doesn’t work for variants set with a dynamic value. Unfortunately, this is a known issue and we don’t have a fix for this in preview mode at the moment.

Hello @jason
So I’m not just reporting is not working on preview mode… it’s not working at all on the frontend either. As described, we use a URL parameter to define which variant to use and that is not working
Are you saying that is also a known issue? Cause it’s affecting the frontend functionality served to users

I’m not able to reproduce this on a real website. For example, I made a public project to demonstrate.
