New kind of entity

[real bone]

Have you looked at this? https://backstage.io/docs/features/software-catalog/extending-the-model#adding-a-new-kind

I did and It's not working for me. I get the following message: "No processor recognized the entity MYENTITY:MYNAMESPACE/MYNAME as valid, possibly caused by a foreign kind or apiVersion type=plugin entity=MYENTITY:MYNAMESPACE/MYNAME location=file:/Users/..../backstage/sample.yaml"

I'm using the Processor in './scr/plugins/catalog.js' right after the builder.addProcessor(new ScaffolderEntitiesProcessor());

Hi @iron musk, I'm curious about your use case for the new Kind. Could you share a bit more?

[iron musk]

Need a section where I would list websites, and need them separate from the cataloge

db, I'm still confused, do you have an example sketch you could show?

Hi @iron musk , I have a similar use case. Have you already resolved your needs?
If so, could you let me know how you resolved it?
If not, can we talk and come up with a solution together?

@agile violet i'm still also confused though, as the others above - sounds like a new kind wasn't needed for the use case at all - what is it that you're trying to achieve in the end?

@rustic plinth We have some URLs (which lead to dashboards) that management people save in their favorites.
The goal is to centralize all these dashboards (URLs) on one page in the backstage.
It would be possible to create a frontend plugin and manage it through code, but the goal is to maintain the backstage structure and import URLs through .yaml files.
