Tutorials are outdated and are very hard to follow

0

Hello,


As someone who is attempting to understand Mendix for the third time, coming from other low code technologies (OutSystems, etc), as well as traditional coding, I have to say: the tutorials in the academy use old, outdated layouts of the editor, many times following the steps is damn near impossible as it tells you to do things which are just impossible to do.


I'll give an example:


https://academy.mendix.com/link/modules/315/lectures/2402/6.6.3-Editing-the-Associated-Account-Entity


This is what I see when I double click the User Role combobox widget:


I see that Caption can be changed from ModelGUID to Name, but the tutorial clearly talks about changing the Data source.


This is not the first time I've come across these very misleading, confusing, and frustrating tutorial instructions, just the one that broke the camel's back.


Would anyone be able to tell me what is it I need to do?


In any case, update your tutorials, please.
