New segment Suggestions keep disappearing

[YanisKyr]

Is this a…: Standard bug

Steps to reproduce this issue:
My suspicion is:

• Suggestion 1 and 2 are connected to the same segment
• Suggestion 1 gets approved
• Existing segment gets split and two new IDs are generated
• Suggestion 2 becomes “orphan”

I’ve recorded two examples:

Environment where the bug occurs: ROW
Permalink: n/a
Browser name and version: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari (all behave the same)
Are you using scripts? Please detail which ones.: No scripts.

Hi @YanisKyr,

Thank you for your input.
The behavior where one of the suggestions disappears after the original segment it was meant to be connected to is split is WAD:

@maiapas

This is indeed WAD, but due to a change in the segment ID. Because you made a suggestion for the initial segment and then it was split, the initial segment ID changed. Our BE checked the first suggestion and automatically removed it since the segment ID no longer existed.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Olesya

Thanks for the quick reply Olesya.

WAD as in Waze-didn’t-think-About-it-during-Design I guess

That’s quite disappointing to hear.. Editors invest their own time to submit map suggestions, and we’re just going to shrug at that? That’s rather confusing and frankly quite discouraging too!

Hi @YanisKyr,

This is just technically challenging at present. I am open to your suggestions, however, and can bring it up to the team. I shared the current status as we have it today; “WAD” is never intended to shrug at things.

Sure, thank you. Here is one idea.. keep the Suggestion in place in WME, and leave the affected segment end(s) disconnected

By lack of communication, the current workflow is ignoring the suggestion. The least we could do is inform the user that their Suggestion has been eliminated/affected/rejected.
