Hello. I am trying to submit a new subproject to an existing project from a different site at a different time. This encounters some unusual behavior on the [my.cdash.org](http://my.cdash.org) server. The panel listing different sites does show the submission results, but when we click into the build, it is empty. (Project dashboard is [here](https://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=SCOREC).)

All log files look good to me. In the subprojects dashboard, I can see the subproject I just submitted is there, but marked as N/A. At the same time, other subproject names in the `Project.xml` without submissions are missing.

The only way I found to reproduce this error in the container is to submit a subproject that is not listed in the names in `Project.xml`. However, this is not the case on the server since we use the same `Project.xml` with all names every time. Another observation in the container is, when I submit one subproject, it successfully creates other subprojects even if there are no submissions related to them, as long as they are included in the `Project.xml`.

 ![Screenshot 1: The same configuration works well in the container. All subprojects can be found even without submission](https://discourse.cmake.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/64edf327afd2eb7f73b7d9aaa4cb968f33164c59.png)

However, on the server, the subprojects (which are in the Project.xml but not submitted) will not be created in the subprojects panel.

My question is:

1. If the behavior difference between the container and the server is not due to a configuration error on my part but is instead intentional by design, does that indicate that my approach (submitting different subprojects separately) is actually not supported/recommended on the server?
2. How can I solve this issue? Any debugging suggestions would be appreciated.
