Hi, I will first explain behaviour of this problem that happens on Balena Cloud.

1 - I have an application where the account user A is owner  
2 - I decided to add a 2nd user B as developer  
3 - User receives mail/link and when it clicks it is looged in as A  
4 - Application \>members instead of having user A (owner) and B (developper) presents on table members A (owner) and A (developper)  
5 - I proceed to delete A (developper) so that i can go through the process of creating again a user developer  
6 - Balena deletes both A (owner) and A (developer)

This is the 1st problem.

7 - Now for some reason A which is owner of the account can’t create new applications because everytime he tries to create a new application in the Dialog box the option “Application Type” doesn’t appear to be filled.

This is the 2nd problem. It’s worse because i cannot carry on with using the platform.  
The 1st just leaves an orphan Application.

Can you help me support. If you need more informatio let me know, i can give you the account A i was talking about.

For the first problem: we are currently working on a fix, in the meantime, please make sure to log out before clicking an invitation link.  
Do you need us to add [masked email] back to wisebox2020-test ?

About the second problem:

- Does it only happen with that specific user ?
- Do you see anything when you click on the dropdown button ?

If you are able to add me to wisebox2020-test i will do the testing.  
To see if the 2nd problem persists.

Apparently i would say it is a backend issue, related with the deletion and that is only related with that user.

I will give you feedback

Hi @suporte,  
We have a PR in progress to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, it will take a couple of days until we have it tested and deployed.  
Please let us know if you encounter any similar issues in the future.
