I have been struggling for a while now with editing a view. My work around was to create a fresh view from scratch each time I wanted to make an edit.
I finally spotted what was causing the problem so want to share this in case anyone else is affected by this.
I have a view that is displaying a single map for a NOC set up. The view is very simple with a single column that contains only the map element.
In order to make the display work on the high resolution NOC screens I extended the column width of the original view. I was using a width of 2400 px.
Whenever I wanted to make edits I was frustrated to find I was unable to submit any changes and had to rely on the work around.
It turns out the width was the cause of this. To be fair to Solarwinds this is indicated with a red asterix that indicates a faulty input.
I experimented with the values and found the maximum allowed is 1920 px. Using this value I was then able to save my edits.
I was then able to adjust the size by dragging the column directly (rather than doing an edit of the page).
So, problem solved.
Thank you
