Settings repository read-only source disappears
Answered
I have successfully added a settings repository under File > Manage IDE Settings > Settings Repository, but when I try to add a read-only source under Settings > Tools > Settings Repository it does not seem to take effect, and it is gone when I reopen Settings. I cannot find anything that seems relevant in idea.log.
Any idea where I should look to find out what is going wrong?

Hi Woulamme. Could you please clarify if you're trying to set up only the read-only repository without the main one? If yes, regrettably, it doesn't work this way; the main repository should be specified first, and the read-only ones - after that.
I have set up the main one first, that is still in place, this is what it looks like before I add the read-only source:
Could you please share your IDE logs via the JetBrains Uploads service and post the ID you receive here? It's needed to see if there are any errors related to the problem.
Here is the idea.log: 2023_04_27_PcfKewZQLosC3svgGJtHZx
Let me know if you need other files too
I did another attempt at configuring the read-only source right before I uploaded the log.
Thank you for the provided logs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any related errors.
Please, try to disable all third-party plugins except Settings Repository and check if the problem persists:
If it doesn't help, please, perform the following:
/Users/<your username>/Library/Logs/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2023.1directory and share theidea.logfile from there.Also, could you please share the URL you specified for the read-only repository?
This is a very fresh installation so Settings Repository is actually my only downloaded plugin!
Did what you asked with a clean IDE start, logs here: Upload id: 2023_04_27_tHg3qL5bmRoc4GJRdw83tk (file: idea.log)
The url I'm adding is git@sqbu-github-old-key-format:oslo-cloud/intellij-shared-settings.git
The domain is a mapped entry in .ssh/config, I have the same setup working on my old laptop.
Thank you for the provided log. Regrettably, there were no entries in the log related to the bug; I also managed to reproduce it and also didn't receive any errors.
I made the bug report in our YouTrack; feel free to upvote it to receive updates. Unfortunately, I can't suggest any workaround to temporarily fix it in the latest release. If the settings from the read-only repository are very important for your workflow, you can consider installing one of the older IDE versions where the bug wasn't presented.
