Bug in bulk processing of venues

[Oliver]

Hi guys,

today I discovered a VERY bad bug in the bulk processing of venues. I could reproduce it in a clean test environment!

In the backend it’s possible to make a bulk processing of venues, e.g. change the status of every venue from “Draft” to “Publish”. This can be done with a few mouseclicks and is used very often by my client.

But there is a bug: when you start the bulk processing ALL the names of the venues are change to “Unnamed Venue”.
I realized this after processing 450 venues. It took me 5 hours to manuelly edit all the venue names! 🙁

Here you will find three screenshots which shows the problem:

Can you please open a PRIO 1 bug report that a bug fix can delivered asap?

Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver: yes I can replicate that. It may even be related to a similar bug we already have on the tracker – we’ll certainly log this and address it as quickly as we can.

Hi Barry,

that would be great! I expect a fast solution for that.
I was really not amused when I realized that all the titles disappeared.

Best regards,
Oliver

I can imagine it would be frustrating to say the least. We’ll certainly address it as quickly as we can, but realistically it will not be before the very next maintenance release – as we need to deliver other fixes as an immediate priority (not to play down the importance of this particular bug, which is valid indeed, but to give you a sense of how quickly a solution may become available).

Hi! We’ve now completed some work that ought to address this issue. Thanks for your patience (and if you do hit any further problems with this please don’t hesitate to let us know in a new thread) – thanks!
