BUG-928 Issues with indexing getting out-of-sync

Some users have experienced issues with the indexing getting out-of-sync requiring a manual re-index. Sometimes a clean re-index is needed to fix the issue.

 

Steps to Reproduce: (intermittent)
1. Importing a backup data file (usually during migration). 2. Importing Word or CSV files.

3. One known issue is when a file import results in a single item with a huge amount of data in the description field. This will be pulled into a separate related bug for limiting the size of field values for items during import.

4. One customer captured the activities of a user who was adding items and then seeing those items in that same session, but when she logged into a new session the next day, the items failed to show until a manual re-index was performed.

BUG-1216 Item ID - when set to editable, the system overwrites value on creation of new item.

Steps to Reproduce

1.       Configure Project -> Settings -> Make Item Id editable.

2.       Create a new Item.

3.       Enter in a custom Item ID, Save and Commit.

4.       Check the read only version and notice that the default Item Id created by the system has been used.

5.       Edit the Item and update the Item ID again and Save. Check the read only version and notice that your Item ID has persisted. The issue appears to be around the database's need for a value and the need to update the insert such that is can take a value vs. always inserting.

BUG-1317 Clicking on a set result (with Release field)

Running into an issue when trying to sort by Release column while looking at items in the Release view (e.g. starting from the "Releases" tab).

 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select the Releases tab.
2. Expand a Release that has items assigned to it.

3. Expand an Item Type that has items in it.

4. Expand an Item that has other 'child' Item Types linked to it.
5. Click on a top level child Item Type which includes a Release field; the 'center panel' correctly shows only related Item Types (that is, items that are related specifically to the top-level item through traceability).
6. Sort by the Release column of the child item within the center panel. An error message displays and Contour front end hangs ('F5' fixes it).

BUG-1263 Error when reusing fields that were originally picklist and changed to multi-select

When a field is removed from Contour, the values are not removed from the database. If an admin follows up with a new field that has the same field name as the prior the system can display incorrect data.

Steps to reproduce:

1.       Change a field on an Item Type from Pick List to Multi Select.

2.       Note: It is not possible to directly change the field. You may have to remove and re-add it with exactly the same name. Make sure there are already items in Contour of this Item Type.

3.       Multi Select field in the edit form is not populated with the currently set value.

4.       Value is displayed correctly when viewing read only view of item.

5.       Only the last value is selected (which is not the default value; actually none is the default).

BUG-1253 Deleting a table in rich text editor causes an error if it is the only thing in the field

Steps To reproduce:

1.       Edit an Item.

2.       Select all and delete.

3.       Create a new table (or copy/paste an Excel table).

4.       Put stuff in the table.

5.       Right click the table and delete table (if you copied from Excel, right-click menu can be hard to get up... try selecting all first, or click Source tab and then come back).

6.       Now the panel is riddled with errors. This is caused by the FCKEditor somehow completely removing the iframe's body, and then all actions cause javascript errors.
