Fred Slota Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Search for Cover Artist "Ed Benes". Sort (ascending) by Cover Artist, to find single artist entries versus multiple artist entries. Select all single artist entries. Right click "Quick Change..." Change Cover Artist to "Ed Benés" Cascade of errors. I think what is happening is, the first correction is made and the grid resorts, breaking the multiple selection, but it wants to continue quick changing on the multiple selection.
Steven L. Dasinger Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I am unable to re-create your situation. Find CoverArtist 'Benes, Ed' Click on Cover Artist header to sort. Select/Highlight all the single 'Ed Benes' rows. Quick change to 'Ed Benés' Change completed without any problems or errors. Am I missing a step? It may be possible if you have made a lot of changes, a Rebuild Lists could help.
Fred Slota Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 I had done a rebuild lists yesterday, after making a few changes to Cover Artists, and verified that the wrong names got removed from the indexed list. I have since made several other changes. Thought, a detail that I did not mention before because I hadn't considered it was significant, but now I ponder... Might it make a difference which order the group of rows is selected? If, after ascending sort, the group is selected by clicking the first, then shift-clicking the last, might it behave differently if instead the group is selected by clicking the last, then shift-clicking the last? I'll try and test it in a few...

Fred Slota Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 Outside my parameters, yes, and possibly outside our need to exhaustively test once we've replicated and notified CB of a bug, but, if there is a bug that needs fixing, it would behoove the fixers to consider if there are more conditions that might also need considering.
