Unable to create collections or sets

Im running LRC13.1. On my main day to day catalogue i can create collections as normal.

BUT i just created a new catalogue with the aim of merging several older ones together. On this one im completely unable to create collections, collection sets or smart collections. Click the add collection box and simply nothing happens at all, from the collection side panel or the main menu.

Ive tried optimising, closing and reloading etc but the same issue persists.

Oddly if after failing i go to "import from catalogue" on the menu, after a few seconds the create collection box DOES popup and works but obviously this isnt really a fix or workaround.

Anyone have a fix for this problem because currently this new catalogue is effectively unusable due to the issue.

LRC13.1, Windows 11 etc.

- Problem:- click "Create Collection". Nothing happens

- Expected result: Popup dialogue box allowing it to be created. Actual result - nothing happens.

Windows

Maybe something went wrong with the creation of this new catalog. Did you try creating yet another new one?

BTW, why don't you just merge those catalogs into your main catalog? Why create a new catalog for this purpose at all?

Works on an empty catalogue or new imports. It doesnt work after importing other catalogues into it.

(Im trying to consolidate 14 catalogues into one. It fails after even adding 1 catalogue).

I am having the same issue and resetting the preferences made no difference.

@WhitcombeRD

As a workaround, go to the import dialogue as if you were going to import images. Check the box "Include in collection" then click the option to create a collection and choose where to put it.

The other problem is that there is no option to sync the collection when you create it. And I am no longer able to edit a collection to make it sync, either.

Strange. I can create any collection I want, and I can sync any existing (or new) collection I want. If this happens in one catalog only, and not in a brand new catalog, then the catalog in question is probably corrupted.
