Unit and Rank in "Messages" Tab
« on: August 12, 2011, 08:50:23 AM »
After running through various use cases, I changed our use of the "Unit" and "Rank" fields. So, I changed the entries in the "Config" tab, and redid each member's record. When I view the member list for sending a message, the list is not populated with the current rank and unit information. It seems to maintain the previous values.

Thanks,

Both the Units and Ranks fields are very special fields and MM does its best to deal with inserting new values.  But totally redoing the fields you may have confused the values.  I.e. if you delete a value (or many) in the config, and a member still has that value MM doesn't know what to do so it maintains the old value by design. 

For the fields that are wrong, you may need to change their value to something different and then back to what you want to clear out the left over values.
