Description

- Create a view and a derevied view with any data.
- Reload the page.
- Create a new view with any data and drag that data onto the first view.
- An error happens (`vivideLayer.objects is not iterable`) and, while the new seems to connect to the first one (Halo shows the connection), no data is shown in the first view.
- changing the selection of the new view results in further errors (`Cannot read property 'Symbol(Symbol.iterator)' of undefined`)

We definitely need this feature when storing VivideViews as html for reuse.

Research direction

Reproduce the reload scenario by creating a view and derived view, reloading, then dragging data from a new view onto the first. Trace VivideView persistence and reload handling around the reported iterable errors; done means stored views can be reused after reload, connections remain valid, and data appears without follow-up errors.
