Node-Red Dashboard 2.0 - Default start page from VRM?

I have been enjoying Node-Red and Dashboard 2.0 for some time and have been able to make good use of it. (just a screenshot for inspiration - Sorry for the Norwegian language) 1713847970454.png


When I access the Dashboard locally I pick the startup page I want. When accessing via VRM I get a default page. I struggle to understand how this default page is set.

These are my 5 main pages. They are numbered page1, page 2 etc.
The strange thing is that VRM picks page3 as the default start page.

The question is: Can I decide what start page to get when launching Dashboard 2.0 from VRM?

I am quite sure VRM just connects to /dashboard and the rest is determined by the configuration settings of the dashboard 2.0 from Node-RED.

I agree

When I open the Dashboard from the Node Red editor I get the same result. That is, opening from Node Red you can actually see in the URL opens the dashboard and then moves on to my page3. I will try to find the Node Red Dashboard settings for this

Copilot @Bing gave the answer
(BTW: I solve a lot of Node Red Issues and create code using Bing Copliot and Chat GPT)

In short - The sorting order in Node Red Dashboard 2.0 is a bit buggy. The first page should be displayed first, however the pages (and dashbord content in general) end up at the top, and even if you move them down the old page on top does not get the position back.

Solution:
Move the page you want as startup to a temp location on you list of pages, Deploy, move back to top position, and Deploy again - Solved - works for me now

Thanks for quick response
