I was trying to find a similar issue anywhere online or on the forum here with no luck.
I have had a three conversations in my database and after a week or so working on the code of the game I found one of the conversations made by a coleague in his git branch that we then synced (it worked back then) just dissapeared. I can still see it in the drop down on the DialogueSystemTrigger object but I simply do not see it in the Dialogue database.
Posting it here to share the solution if anyone else had this issue too.
My conversation dissappeared
Re: My conversation dissappeared
Maybe Tony knows the solution off the top of his head, which he does to a suprising degree, but I feel a bit more information would be helpful here - like some screen grabs.
Are you merging databases in runtime? Or, when your colleague committed their changes did it overwrite the existing database?
Is there any chance you have multiple databases in your project and the Dialogue System Trigger is pointing to a different one?
To me, it sounds more like a versioning issue, is there any chance you are on an older branch (possibly one that wasn't updated with the change?)

What Nathan said.
Or maybe you or your colleague were accidentally working on the auto-backup version of the database. (In version 2.2.12+, if you're editing the auto-backup, the database name will be shown in red in the lower left of the Dialogue Editor window.)
Make sure the database that's assigned to the Dialogue System Trigger's Reference Database field is the same as the one you're editing in the Dialogue Editor.
The Dialogue System Extras page has a patch that enables the Dialogue Editor's conversations dropdown to show conversations with invalid titles such as "/". It doesn't sound like this is the issue you're seeing, since the dropdown works properly in the Dialogue System Trigger, but I'm mentioning it just in case. The issue you're describing sounds like the Dialogue System Trigger is using a different database.

Re: My conversation dissappeared
Hey guys,
thanks for the replys. I Checked twice and yes, it definitely is a versioning issue. Please consider my question answered. Maybe it might help someone else.
I expected the dialogues to be saved in the dialogue database file and they are. All is fine.
BTW, love you product and value your support very much!
