Similar issue and wouldn’t let me save layouts till i reset them all.  Not an issue on this site but I have another one that uses custom layouts extensively.  I have already had to reset them before because of other issues.

Much like Kurt i can’t see resetting and redoing layouts on every site after an upgrade. Also often a problem after installing a module which creates tabs on the publish page such as seoLite.

Same here.  Would be helpful if this one went away.

Me too. No Forums tab, only Pages, seems to occur with all five channels, all of which have their own publish layouts.

Pages. No Forum.  Same problem.

Same problem with all of my custom layout channels. (2.1.2)

It appears the issues are fixed with 2.1.3 - Kurt, did you give it a try yet?

I have just had this when installing latest update 2.1.3

All my custom publish menus have had to be reset.

Not happy.
The Publish windows seem very flakey , my experience with them so far has not been good.
I now have to redo a bunch of channels again.

Just upgraded from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 and didn’t have to reset my custom publish layouts this time.  This site makes minimal use of them and i did reset them when i went from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 I am trying it on a much larger site that makes much more extensive use of custom publish layouts tonight.  I will let you know how that goes.

joemo,

What version did you update from?

PhilBrienesse,

I am trying it on a much larger site that makes much more extensive use of custom publish layouts tonight.  I will let you know how that goes.

Excellent. Thanks for letting us know

I can confirm this problem exists when upgrading from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3. I believe I have seen this once before, coming out of the beta product to final release. Didn’t expect to see it again. :( Can someone tell me if there is any other way to do this without destroying and re-building custom publish layouts?

Upgraded the site i mentioned above.  No issues.  Did not need to reset custom publish layouts and can change them around and save them.

Does not fix the other bug where if you alter a custom field it reappears on all layouts. There is already a bug submitted in the tracker for this though.

Also like someone else mentioned, even though the layout is displaying correctly all of the eye icons are open for hidden fields.

Should mention this upgrade was from 2.1.1 to 2.1.3 so I am not sure what is different from the poster above me who did have to reset all his layouts

Hi I updated from 2.1.0 build 20100810.

Thank you, PhilBrienesse. I will look into the eye icons being incorrect and try to reproduce. Glad it is working otherwise for you.

joemo,

Is the Discussion Forum module installed by any chance? Can you also confirm that you aren’t seeing errors after resetting the layouts?

Having the same issue. This is absolutely ridiculous - my experience with EE so far has been flaky code and a support staff that actually expects you to fix the issue by manually resetting your website’s entire custom fields - ignoring the fact that your website might actually be huge and employ quite an amount of fields that need resetting. You’ve had the opportunity to roll out a new version of EE to fix this bug for months, but still haven’t - no wonder everyone’s leaving you for Wordpress.

EE is the scraped bottom of the CMS barrel, and the support staff are nothing short of haggling for cash.
