I had it working this morning now its not.

I had a custom screen connect to my users data collection. But I had input elements connected via button to another collection called CCF. Now when I go to connect the elements to the CCF database, it is only showing fields from the user DB to connect to. Some of the input elements are showing on the side bar of the control panel but not showing on the actual screen.

Try previewing as an actual user so the components have a row of data to connect with.

Ive tried that. When I add a component then connect it to the CCF database it disappears off the screen,

Fixed it, I had to create the page as a list then delete the list for it to then default to a custom page for me to add the components
