Null channel Id when channel was added manually

[jaepi]

Hi,

I’m fairly new to channels and Litium in general and I added a new channel manually using Litium settings

After adding, I published all pages to the new channel.
My problem now is that whenever I access the channel via ChannelService, the manually added channel’s Id is null. To be specific, here’s the screenshot.

Please advise.

Litium version: 7.6.1

That is per design. Kind of general pattern for most of the entities in Litium. What you set in BO when creating a channel is the name (Localizations) of the channel not the ID. You can set it in the DB tho. Or create it programmatically (through code).
