The active tab is determined by checking if the current path starts with specific prefixes: ```typescript Dashboard = '/dashboard' Chart = '/chart' Datasets = '/tablemodelview' ``` - **Charts works** because both the list (`/chart/list/`) and create (`/chart/add`) routes share the `/chart` prefix [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L190). - **Datasets breaks** because the list page is at `/tablemodelview/list/` but the create page is at `/dataset/add/` — which doesn't start with `/tablemodelview` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L178) [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/views/routes.tsx#L269). A fix would be to update the switch case in `Menu.tsx` to also match the `/dataset` prefix for the Datasets tab [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L186-L199): ```typescript case path.startsWith(Paths.Datasets) || path.startsWith('/dataset'): setActiveTabs(['Datasets']); break; ``` For the Dashboard create flow — the dashboard paths already use `/dashboard` as the prefix [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/Menu.tsx#L176), so if the create route lives under `/dashboard/...` it should already match. Could you confirm the exact URL you see in the browser when you click "+ Dashboard"? That would help verify whether the same type of mismatch exists there or if it's a different issue. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
