Bug #20062
closedQuick Edit Feature Resets Post Author to First User in List
0%
Description
When I use the Quick Edit option to make changes to an existing post, the author of the post automatically resets to the first individual listed in the site's user list, regardless of who the original author was.
I replicated the issue in Firefox and Safari as well as across multiple themes. I also spoke with another instructor and confirmed that the Quick Edit option resets post authorship for them, too.
It's a nasty little bug if only because determining the original author of certain posts can be tricky and time-consuming when there isn't an available edit history for the post.

Thanks for finding this bug, Zach. The Quick Edit Author feature was brought back in #19166, but it looks like I forgot to keep the author of the post as selected in the dropdown select menu.
Will look into this.

I've added a fix for this in https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/3d4baea893d245aa16e8d709c6c49822dcde0089 .
This is scheduled to be deployed in two weeks, but if we need to deploy to production sooner due to heavy usage, let me know.
