Description
All I need is quickly move some posts from one category to another.
How to simulate this problem:
Create 2 posts in Uncategorized category.
Check both of them - Bulk actions - Edit.
There is no category selected even if both posts are in Uncategorized. When I check Category1 and click Update, both posts are now in Uncategorized and also in Category1. But no chance remove them from Uncategorized with Bulk actions.
Change History (9)
- Component changed from UI to Administration
- Keywords needs-patch added
- Component changed from Administration to Quick Edit
Actually, no categories are checked!
- Milestone changed from 2.9 to 3.0
- Summary changed from Bulk actions for category change does not work to Can't removeCategories not checked in Quick edit
- Type changed from defect (bug) to enhancement
The same goes for tags: the tag box will always be empty, even if both posts have one or more tags in common.
I think Quick Edit simply doesn't check similarities between posts at all, although it would be nice.
To get this working right will take some serious patching and a lot of testing. Punting to the next major release.
- Summary changed from Can't removeCategories not checked in Quick edit to Bulk editing posts should pre-fill fields with the same value
I'd like to add that this seems to also appear when attempting to change Author with Bulk Edit. When doing so, changes are not saved.
Confirmed behaviour with 2.9-beta2.
