When you try and create a collection from items in a search result it fails (doesn’t even show the other collections in list). Says something went wrong…

When you create the same collection from the library of ALL movies it works.

image 1 is the search, 2 is showing error, 3 is searching in the library, 4 shows list of existing collections that didn’t populate when trying from search, 5 shows added collection
