Changing name of a candidate in a ward with reported results causes that person to disappear from the results list.

Open duncanparkes opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Editing the name of a candidate on a Ward with entered but not confirmed results causes that candidate to stop appearing in those results.

To reproduce:

  1. Go to a page to report results in a ward, such as https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/uk_results/posts/MTW:E05001460/report
  2. Enter correct numbers and press 'Report Results' - this takes you to the results page.
  3. Click on the name of the person whose name you want to change (I opened in a new tab)
  4. Click on the 'Edit Candidate' button
  5. Change the candidate's name and click 'Save changes' 6 Go back to the Ward results page and refresh it - the candidate with the changed name will have disappeared.
  6. Returning to the report results page, note that the candidate still appears here, and with the new name.

One example of this going wrong for me - now fixed by adding results again and getting @jf1 to confirm the good ones, is

2016-05-08-003300_1366x768_scrot

which is missing the UKIP candidate, whose name I changed from 'Keith Wells' to 'Keith Frank Wells'.

An example of this going wrong which I haven't fixed up is at https://candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/uk_results/posts/MTW:E05001451/

I entered the results when the UKIP candidate was called Neil Coleman, edited his name to Neil David Coleman, and now he's missing.
