Description
/Describe the bug
Widgets are "lost" once the backend they are associated with is deleted or removed. No way to rescue these "orphaned" widgets.
To Reproduce
Create a local default OpenData backend with the FRED extension
Create a dashboard of FRED widgets
Delete backend
Re-add default backend
No way to re-point or update orphaned widgets.
Screenshots
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Mac Tahoe 26.1
- Python: 3.13
- OpenBB: 3.1.0
- OpenBB_Data: 1.0.0
Additional context
Didn't try, but should be the same issue with logging in via another computer, or another computer where the default OpenBB backend has been replaced. There should be a way to re-point existing widgets to the default backend at the least, if there are security concerns with extending it beyond that.
At a minimum, on deleting a backend, there should at least be a warning message saying the following widgets will be orphaned on deletion.
