Issue with Linking Custom Workspace to Module in Frappe Cloud (ERPNext v15.36.4)

Hi,

I am currently using Frappe Cloud (private bench) with the following versions:

  • ERPNext: v15.36.4
  • Frappe Framework: v15.42.0

I’m facing an issue when attempting to create a custom workspace and link it to a custom module. Based on this ERPNext tutorial on Desk Pages, I attempted the following:

  1. I created a new custom workspace from the home screen.
  • It’s worth mentioning that the “Create new workspace” button from the Workspace List doesn’t seem to be available anymore in the current version, so I used the home screen option.
  1. The new workspace was successfully created. However, the problem is that:
  • The Module field to link the workspace to a specific module is not available.
  • For core workspaces (those that come pre-installed), the Module field is visible but not editable.
  1. I also tried duplicating an existing core workspace (e.g., “Selling” or “Stock”), but even in the duplicated version, the Module field is completely absent and cannot be edited or added.

What I’ve Tried:

  • Searching through the Workspace doctype to see if the field is hidden or restricted, but I couldn’t find any obvious permissions or visibility settings regarding the Module field.
  • Reviewing and cross-referencing configuration docs, but nothing mentions the unavailability of this field for custom created workspaces.

What I’m Trying to Achieve:
I ideally need to create a custom workspace fully linked to my custom module so that the workspace appears in the navigation neatly categorized under my custom module.

If anyone has encountered this issue before or has insights on how to resolve this or work around it (e.g., editing doctype permissions or enabling the module field in custom workspaces), I would greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance!

Please check the reference:

As per my understanding, first, you have to the custom workspace in the custom module from locally and then pull your custom app from the frappe cloud.
