Tagging bug when moving items

halfshadows 17 years, 9 months ago at Jul 19 16:39 -
This bug is causally related to the issue of not being able to search "Wanted" lists.

Let's say you have an item in your wanted list that you added months ago and have forgotten about it. One day you happen to purchase the item and you add it to your collection via ASIN or ISBN or whatever. When you add it, the item no longer displays in your wanted list -- which is great -- but any tags which were previously attached to the item when it was in your wanted list are no longer aggregated in your Owned lists. So, for instance, if I had an item that was tagged "health" in my wanted list, after I add it to my collection by this method, it will not display when I filter with the health tag and will not be included in the number of books I have tagged "health" on the "Book Home" page. In order to fix this, I have to remove all of its tags and retag it.

Unfortunately, I have done this to enough items accidentally so far that I am no longer sure which items have these "invisible" tags.

I have noticed that when using the "Move to Collection" feature at the bottom of the wanted page, tags are correctly retained. Of course, using this feature assumes you know the item was already in your wanted list and were able to locate it.

I will look into fixing this and also fixing the orphaned tags.

I fixed this now, it will now transfer the tags and update the date added time as well.

I've also run a script to fix all existing tag problems.
