Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Yeah you’ll probably need to go up.  a65 corresponded with u38.  The fix is in u44.

 

Thanks!

Subject: RE: [grouper-users] Alternate Group ID on Move vs. Copy-Rename

 

Shilen,

 

Production is running on 2.4 patch a65 for a while now.  I see that I have the checkbox to keep or remove the alternate ID when I do a group move (though I see I cannot rename a group that way).   However, if I attempt to edit the group (to change the name and the group ID), I don’t have a checkbox, even in the advanced properties.  It lets me rename the name and ID, but then when I expand the details I see the alternate ID is set to the old group name.

 

I have version a86 queued up in test.  I’ll see if the behavior changes there?

 

Thanks,

Erik

Hi Erik,

 

What version/patch are you on?  I think an option was added in 2.4 UI patch 44.  When you do a rename, as of that patch, it should ask if you want to set the alternate name.

Hello,

 

Perhaps I’m missing something, but maybe someone has run into this:  when I move a group, it seems I have the option to keep the old name as the alternate group ID, or just leave it off.  Good!

 

When I copy a group, then I want to rename that group, I am forced to have an alternate ID of the old group name.  How can I turn that off?  Should I just do a move in the same folder?

 

Thanks,
