Init Problem

There was a problem loading init data:
Request failed with status code 401

@creator_digital that 401 means the editor loads but isnt authenticated to the backend. on self-hosted the usual cause is the auth cookie not reaching the server — over plain http a secure-flagged cookie doesnt get sent, so every /rest call comes back 401. are you self-hosted, on http or https, behind a proxy? if youre on http, setting N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false (or moving to https) usually fixes it. if https behind a proxy, its normally the proxy stripping the cookie.
