Thanks to everyone who's been testing this and reporting back to the list. At Penn State we have not had a chance to test this yet as we haven't upgraded to 1.1, but I would just add that this particular bug has led us to effectively freeze all data entry at the component level of resource records, because the results are just too unpredictable and difficult to remediate. I suspect that other ASpace users might feel the same way. I would hope that ArchivesSpace could prioritize this fix for immediate release.
Thanks,
Ben

Yes, just to reiterate what Allyson, Elliot, and Teresa have shared - this happens at random but does not seem to be directly correlated (at least for us) to actually dragging/dropping/moving components. A case in point: I've been going through and adding access restriction notes to various components within existing administrative collections. Last week I clicked on several existing components in a resource record, added conditions governing access notes to those components, saved the changes, and went about the rest of my day. The following day I pulled up the resource to answer a reference question and, lo and behold, it appeared as if someone had dipped a giant wooden spoon into the cauldron that was the collection and stirred all the components about in an infuriatingly nonsensical way to make component soup of our previously well-ordered resource record.
Payten - Thanks for sharing this code, but just to confirm, have you tested this fix against the scenario I describe (editing but not moving a component)? I just want clarification since the description for your patch ("Patch for drag and drop causing record to lose position/parent") does not align with the primary problem we are encountering. Again, thanks for your hard work.
Chris - Do we have a timeline for this release? We are seeing many benefits to our transition to ArchivesSpace, but this problem has been a constant thorn in our sides since we first reported it in June. We had hoped that 1.1.0 would resolve this issue (as we'd been told it would), but we remain anxious for the day when we can rest assured that ArchivesSpace gnomes won't enter our resources at night and scramble them all about.
Best,
Lora Davis

Ah, awesome Payten.
I couldn't get this to replicate and was thinking it was something in the backend.
Will apply this and include it in the next release.
Thanks!

Hi there Chris, Allyson,
Eavesdropping a little bit and the guilt of writing this code became too much!
Chris, this looks like a little bug in the tree.js where we aren’t checking the correct node.. the comment says the right thing while the code does the wrong thing. Here’s a gist of a potential patch:
https://gist.github.com/payten/649819e7f08d0de3e945
To replicate I have a Resource hierarchy something like this:
- Resource
- AO Parent
- AO Child 1
- AO Child 2
- AO Child 3
- AO Child 4
I select and go to edit ‘AO Child 3’. When that form is visible I drag ‘AO Child 4’ above to become the first sibling. I then continue to edit ‘AO Child 3’ and refresh the page. ‘A0 Child 3’ is now positioned directly under ‘Resource’.
Happy to put together a more formal pull request if you like.
Cheers,
Payten

Hi Allyson,
Unfortuantely, I haven't been able to replicate the problem of component movements not sticking. See =>
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzRF7huQ7tqKS29oM2RZZWNubGc/view?usp=sharing )
In edit mode, I'm able to drag and drop components, reload the page, or go to the view page.
Is this happening for every record every time for you? Or is it an infrequent thing?
Not doubting you ( I promise! ) , just trying to see when this is happening...

Hello all -
Unfortunately, after upgrading to the newest release, we are still having this problem.
Archival objects are reordering themselves after being edited.
Is anyone else still having this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks very much,
Allyson

Hey Ben,
Soon, I promise!
But just to check, are you talking about reording the archival object tree for the resource or the order of things like notes and subjects?

Thanks, Allyson. I knew it sounded familiar!
Do we have an ETA on the next release yet? :)

Hi Ben,
Yes, from what I understand this is a known issue. It has been happening to us a lot as well.
At SAA this August, I was told it would be fixed in the next release.

Hello,
I've just experienced an issue and on a cursory search can't tell if it's been noted in PivotalTracker yet or discussed here yet.
I've been editing an inventory object-by-object in a resource record, saving each object as I updated it. In one instance I reordered one of the objects by dragging it further down the tree, then continued editing other objects. Then I reached an object that could be removed, clicked to delete it, the resource reloaded in View mode, and the objects appeared to shuffle, and not seemingly in the order I started with.
