understood -- i believe the problem is how the items are being taken out of their draft status.
to take the item out of draft status and retain all the attributes and namespaces a batch-update using the returned item's id or the 'published-drafts' feature via dashboard's active-items tab is required. using the dashboard's edit-items feature won't retain the attributes and name-spaces required for proper status updates as far as i can tell. if i use your shipped.xml to batch-insert an item and then either batch-update its draft-status or use the dashboard's publish-drafts button directly from the active-items tab, these are the results: http://www.google.com/base/s2?authorid=4527986&q=test1 but using edit-items the results reflect your observations: http://www.google.com/base/s2?authorid=4527986&q=iceback-bad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Base Data API" group.
