Hello there! - is this in your own world or a world you are a co-author / writer in ?

Hello !   I have been encountering this issue recently also. When editing an article and assigning a classification in the drop-down menu (for instance, in a character article, "Generic" -> "Species"), when selecting a (for instance) specie that already exists in my world to assign it, it does not save it anymore.   If I access the article afterwards, it will not show up, and if I refresh the editing page, the category will be empty again. So exactly as OP described.   Screenshot:       (I submitted this to the support who told me to post it here and upvote :) )   [EDIT to answer question above : I'm co-author. I have tried in a world I'm the author of, and I do NOT encounter this issue.]   Operating system : Windows 11   Browser : Firefox, Chrome

I've run into a very similar issue -when I create a new article and make links to not-yet-created articles, I can't edit the links. For instance, when I made a "X" character and linked them to "Y" person, the link doesn't work; there is no option to click on the link and create "Y" linked person.

@Dimitris this is a world in which i am a co author. this feature has worked before for me in this particular world so i'm not sure if something changed with regards to the website's code or something else happened.

Hello everyone - we are currently investigating this we are aware of the issue and the cause

Hi all, is this still happening ? A lot of the underlying system as been reworked with the 2 new realease so i want to check that this is still something to fix or if the rework eliminated this bug completly

It's still happening to me.   When I create a new article with links to articles that don't exist yet, the "view" page doesn't allow me to click on/edit the links. I have to create another article from the main menu and then go back and edit the previous one to include the new link.

Same issue here for my new world. Just stopped working after I made 16 articles.

Dimitris @ 12 Mar, 2024 05:09:37 Developer

Hey RIvalJesse This is occurring because your total number of drafts is above 20. In order to continue working you will need to either turn some of them to public or get any membership (since that number becomes unlimited with any membership)
