Bug Description

Cross-platform synchronization issue with database properties in AppFlowy. When creating a new property in the browser version, the property appears to save successfully. However, when switching to the Windows 11 desktop app or Android app, the newly created property disappears and an internal error is displayed with the message "The page id empty". This suggests a synchronization problem between the browser client and native applications.

How to Reproduce

Open AppFlowy in a web browser
Navigate to a database view
Create a new property by clicking on the property header area
Type in the property name and configure settings
Save the property (appears successful in browser)
Switch to AppFlowy Windows 11 desktop app or Android app
Navigate to the same database
Observe that the newly created property is missing
Internal error appears with message: "The page id empty"

Expected Behavior

The newly created property should sync across all platforms (browser, Windows 11 app, and Android app) and remain visible and functional in all clients. No internal errors should occur, and the property should maintain its configuration and data across platform switches.

Operating System

Windows 11 app

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.9.9
