Cause
The issue has been identified by your Product Team: it occurs due to init rules configured in Manage Configuration UI.
The system waits for these rules to finish processing before showing content. However, when the rule conditions don't match the actual data, the system never signals "init complete" — so the card keeps waiting forever.
Resolution
A fixing patch will be released on May 28th, 2026.
In the meantime, as a workaround, customers can disable the oninit rule added in the Manage configuration UI:
- Go to Manage Configuration UI
- Search for the screen ID
- Click on Edit properties (on left navigation when mousehover the Screen Label)
- Go to init rule section and delete
- Save
