Hi, I’m posting a topic here to ask for help with the Mapbox plugin. I’ve created a map with its sources and layers. There’s no problem reporting the style of my layers to the plugin via the style URL (image 1).

However, to make my map interactive (I think) I need to link the plugin directly to my sources and layers (image 2).

Linking my sources with its id and tileset URL seems to work, but when I want to link an existing layer in Mapbox it asks me for a source layer. No matter how many times I fill in all the available information, the error message persists (image 3).

If anyone can help me unblock my situation, or if anyone has already worked with this plugin on custom maps, I’d love to hear from you. I have very little JS skills, but I might be able to manage if I know how to do it on Weweb… Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you manage to solve this? I am facing the same issue. The source-layer is not being recognized. Can anyone help?
