Native Plex Movie agent editing collection summaries

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.20.0.3181
Player Version#: Plex for Web Version 4.39.1

I am noticing a few bugs related to editing collection summaries.

Bug 1: For custom collections I made myself (legacy from older agent), I can now edit the summaries. If I add something to a blank summary, it gets displayed on the specific collection screen properly, but if I try to delete it after that, I get a Something has went wrong screen. Below is the console error, sanitized just in case

Bug 2: For collections made by the new agent, which pull summaries from TMDB, you cannot edit the summary. You can edit it from the Collections page in the library, but as soon as you visit that specific collection, the edits are deleted. You cannot edit it at all from the specific collection page, once you hit save, nothing actually seems to be saved.

Did you check this again in 3181? It was absolutely true in 3133.

I just tried editing and deleting summaries, on old and new collections, and it succeeded in 3181.

Oh wait … I made something like you describe in #2 happen. Not consistently though.

Yeah I am on 3181. I can edit collection summaries fine for old collections. The problem seems to be when I delete a newly added summary, then I cannot navigate to that collection’s page anymore without putting some text back into the summary field.

For new collections, I can edit summaries, but the seem to revert back to the old ones when I navigate to that collection’s page, back, and then back to that collection’s page again. This may be related to the field not being able to be locked via UI, and the summaries being “updated” very quickly

Yeah I’m seeing something weird as I poke at it more.

It didn’t happen initially when I took the same steps you described, but I’m definitely seeing occasional “edits are lost” now.

This definitely was happening to me in 3133 and driving me crazy. As I look now … I think some of my edits, that I thought were working, have been discarded.

Thanks for raising it.

Edit: Yeah. Weirdness.

I tried locking the Summary field from plexapi and then editing it, but no luck. Edits for the summary field do not stick for collections created by the new agent, regardless if the field is locked or not.
