How to resolve 'autoReload feature is required to use this plugin' issue

Posted on March 19, 2022

Hey guys, can you help resolve this - I can’t add anything via strapi dashboard. I get “autoReload feature is required to use this plugin. Start your server with strapi develop” Thing is that I started the server with strapi develop

What I have done to resolve - I set the NODE_ENV environment variable to development via Apps -->Settings --> App-Level Environment Variables but the issue still persists.
