Several folks who tried to use the new scheduling tool on Thursday ran into a problem where the tool would tell them that their change had been scheduled, but the Deployments page was actually not updated. I eventually figured out that my logic for finding the right place in the page to make the insert was easily confused by a common manual edit where folks would overwrite the instructions placeholder with their own change. This bug has now been fixed. I have also added a few more checks to try and detect similar issues in the future where the tool accidentally makes a null edit.
