Description

See
image

when opening the dropdown, there's no "dashboard" entry ticked there:

Still, when debugging into the code I can see that "dashboard" is indeed enabled in the white list.

So something is wrong with that dropdown control.

Observed in Guests 1.6.3

Research direction

Reproduce the allow-list dropdown behavior described in the screenshots on Guests 1.6.3, then inspect the JavaScript that builds the control and reads the whitelist. Compare the displayed checked entries with the enabled whitelist values, especially “dashboard.” Done means the dropdown consistently reflects the whitelist.
