Are alt street names going to be fixed anytime soon?
I swear they're going to drive me crazy.
I know that it has been said forever that some better system is going to be put in place eventually. In the meantime, is there any chance the current system could be fixed? It seems to break more and more all the time.
A while back I noticed that alt names get erased whenever geometry is edited. Now I'm noticing that alt names can only be added one segment at a time. Has it always been this way? I swear it hasn't, but maybe I'm just going crazy.
Situation: segment A and segment B both have the same alt name (the road in question is a county highway, known by a regular name but I really would like to attach the county highway number to it even though it doesn't do anything right now). If I highlight both A and B and add the alt name, it saves. Then if I open up the details page on either (or both) of the segments, it shows that there is no alt name at all.
If I save the alt name to segment A and B separately, it sticks. But then if I highlight both at the same time and open up the details page, it still shows there is no alt name. Open them separately and it shows up, just not together... even though they have the same exactly alternate name.
Can this be fixed? If there are no plans on fixing it, you might as well just delete it because right now this field is essentially worthless and is just going to cause confusion and frustration in new members.
