Activities inside "For each" (or any other container) are not visible and cannot be expanded in Studio

I’m facing a strange issue in Studio where i cannnot see or access any activities placed insede a container like “For each”. It appears as a single, solid block, and i cannot expand it to view it contents.

  • No expand/collaps button
  • Double click doesn’t works
  • On the properties panel the “body” or “sequence” property is missing
  • There is no “Expand All” in right-click.

I have already tried to delete the .local folder and repaired the project dependencies.

Studio version: 2025.10.1

Hi @erick_eduardo

This looks like a known Studio 2025.10.x designer bug where container activities (For Each, If, etc.) sometimes show as a single solid block with no body/sequence and cannot be expanded.

To fix it, try these steps in order:

Create a new blank project in the same Studio version and drop a fresh For Each activity. If it works there, the issue is with the current project file.

In the affected project, open Manage Packages and move all core packages (especially UiPath.System.Activities and UiPath.UIAutomation.Activities) to the latest stable versions supported by 2025.10.1, avoiding any preview/beta versions. Then close and reopen Studio.

If the container is still a solid block, create a new project and rebuild the workflow by copying activities from the Outline (or by opening the XAML as text and copying logic piece by piece). This recovers the process when the original XAML designer section is corrupted.

If none of the above helps in a brand‑new project with stable packages, it is almost certainly a product bug in 2025.10.1 and should be raised to UiPath Support with screenshots and package versions so they can include it in a hotfix.

Also you can follow this steps:

You have runtime dependencies installed. Remove them and install the correct dependencies.

Hi @erick_eduardo

This is a Studio rendering/UI glitch or corrupted XAML. The container shows as a solid block because its Body/Sequence is missing or Studio can’t render it.

  • Check and fix the XAML in a text editor.
  • Use the Outline panel to access/copy inner activities.
  • Reset Studio layout.
  • Ensure activity packages are up to date.
  • If all else fails, create a new container and copy activities into it.

Thanks @arjun.shiroya, I just needed to install a few dependencies and revert to the previous version of others, and now it’s working perfectly!
