Hello,
Just noticed that one document that should list 5 persons:
Geni - Dzērbene, Zemzari - tautas skaitīšana 1935.jpg
Lists only for of them.
The "Magdalēna Panders (born Širons)"
https://www.geni.com/people/Magdal%C4%93na-Pander/6000000208071736836
is missing, although I am sure she was listed here previously. It is interesting that in her profile this document is listed under "Sources" tab:
Geni - Magdalēna Panders (Šīrons) (1904-1976)
If I use profile ID 6000000208071736836 to add it to Document Profiles "(Add)" button, it offers to add itBut in result still displays only 4 profiles.
From "Edit" dialog in her "Sources tab" we can see that only "Mother" relationship checkbox is present, but neither "Vilma Panders" has checkbox as a Children, neither any of data fields in "Basic Information" are filled.
I am sure that at least "First Name", "Birth Surname", "Date of Birth", "Place of Birth" and "Current Location" were filled. Is it possible that after two profile merge some data is lost in document where it was referencing the other profile (before merge)? That seems like a data loss bug on merge. I know that her profile was merged one week ago. Just not sure whether loss of entered facts within document is result of profile being merged, or it is some other bug that prevents the profile to appear in document, because it now has zero facts.
Can you please verify whether there are no obvious errors with javascript code when you try to add that profile to this document. There are some warnings in browser developer console, but does not seem to be directly related.
If this loss of filled in facts in document is result of profile merge then I am more disappointed. If I filled thousand documents and some merge with other duplicate profile can just delete data from document then I can't trust those documents to mention all profiles in them.
Please confirm that merge should never affect the documents no matter which profile becomes the new master profile and all releted documents are refreshed to reference the new profile id.
Thanks in advance,
Dainis
