[SOLVED] Wireguard OS plugin - cannot set up

[doktornotor]

Trying to add a local instance of WG.

- The docs say to generate the key with "Generate new keypair" button which does not exist.
- The help says: "Public key of this instance. You can specify your own one, or a key will be generated after saving."
- I cannot save anything since there is some validation requiring the keys to be set.

Huh?  ???

No idea what is going on with the package really.

Looking at https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/issues/3632, there apparently was some GUI revamp in os-wireguard 2.3 - well, that is no longer the version that gets installed now and the revamp is gone again.

Ok, mystery solved with restarting the GUI, thanks to Franco. Some weird caching issue, see the ticket linked below.
