MLS 3.5 - Primary teacher callings disappearing and duplicating
Posted: Sun Nov 04, 2012 12:32 pm
Hello,
Having a hard time determining if the following is a bug or a "feature."
As per the instructions that came with the 3.5 upgrade, I have been reassigning our Primary teachers to their classes today. All of my Primary teachers were listed under "other callings" under the "Primary" (first) tab of the Organizations-> Primary screen, with a blank in the Class column. I edited each line and selected the right class from the popup menu. As I finished this task I scrolled the list back up and noticed that all the callings I had just edited had vanished. I only had the non-teacher callings (Cub leaders, music leaders, etc) remaining in that list.
I initially thought that MLS had somehow just lost the data due to a bug. I then re-created all the callings one at a time from the same screen. Fortunately I had all the names, dates, and data on a printout from pre-upgrade. After re-creating the callings, I then looked at the Class Members screen and noticed that I now had two of every teacher calling. I assume that when I thought the callings had disappeared, they had just been moved to be viewed only from the Class Members screen. I'm not sure if this is intentional by the developers or not.
I now assume I need to delete one copy of each calling but don't know which one I should delete. I assume that depending on which copy I delete, it will either disappear from the main organization screen or not. If it disappears then there is no way to see the teacher callings from that screen as there always has been. Is this intended? What should I do from here?
