Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Fix Released
Bug description:
When a user creates a new collection and they get to the views stage access for
each views access is updated immediately as it is added.
This means that if a user decides that they don't want the collection anymore
and cancel then the view access is already updated and they have lost original
settings on views.
The user might also just add a view and then immediately decide that wasn't the
right decision and remove from the list.
This is an issue for both new and existing collections.
The help file does mention this is going to happen, but I'm thinking it is not
the most appropriate event for access updating to occur on anyway.
Solutions might be to:
For new collections:
a) update access only on the final stage when user saves collection completely
b) alert user somehow that views are going to have their access updated when
they navigate past the views page
For existing collections:
a) only update when the user is completely finished with the page (clicking
'Done') and ensure it is clear that the access will be updated at this time
Any other ideas?
