Hi Bmovie,

ExpressionEngine 1.6.9 / Build:  20100430

you know for resume the problem with a simple example, “is like you check something and submit and when you return that check appear uncheck it”

Unfortunately I don’t follow too closely, can you elaborate? What changes, exactly, are you attempting to do? Are you saying that those changes don’t “stick”, i.e. revert to the previous value?

the problem is in “Template Preferences Manager”

I select the template for make changes… I do the changes (attachment 1.png)

great! everything works!

BUT…

when I return to the same template, they appear “empty” (attachment 2.png)

so still works but is really confuse, because is like check something, update, and return an see unchecked.

I explain well?

Did you pick a page to change to? Based on this screen shot, you didn’t. Does that help?

yes, the screenshot are real, I mean well the selection of the template is in the top (the screenshot dont show it) but in the screenshot I check that options in a template… I submit… later I return to same template and show everything empty in “Do not change”

check it please, make a simple test with a template, I think is a bug, or I do something wrong?

I check that options in a template… I submit… later I return to same template and show everything empty in “Do not change”

Yes, why is that a problem? That’s intended behavior. It simply means that you don’t want to change permission for those groups but leave them at whatever setting they are. You just change the settings for those groups you want to change and submit, the rest won’t be affected.

thanks Ingmar, mmm maybe is me point of view, but think in this by example: Im a developer and put permissions to a template, I submit and great everything works, later other developer comes and see that template and everything empty in “do not change” he can think “strange everything is empty but dont works like empty, the template have permissions” so my point is that for me is strange select a thing a check options and later return and see everything unchecked it.

Hi Bmovie,

Thanks for the feedback. The Template Preference Manager is intended to let you make large batches of changes to the settings at once, and since you can select multiple templates and groups, it’s not possible to accurately show the current settings for each on a single screen. In other words, this is working as intended.

Glad Ingmar helped clear it up, and don’t hesitate with further questions!
