Server Version#: 1.41.3.9314  
Player Version#: 1.106.0.276-fe8d1d20 (Windows)  
I generated Automatic Collections for my movies. Everything is generated fine and now i need to change some summary’s that are not completed. I can change it, lock it but if i reboot Plex the summary is going back to “default” summary. This also happening without a reboot, but it then takes some time. Other summary’s (movies or manual created collections still working fine).

Trying to do already:  
Turn off automatic collections  
Unlock the fields, reboot, edit and lock again, reboot  
Optimise database

I uploaded the log when starting the server\the problem happend.  
I see a lot of database fixeups for collections for example:

Hopefully somebody can help.  
Greetings, Marcel

Update 24-1, uploaded some extra logging. Still not getting it working, seems like a bug in the software, because every other field is properly saved in the database.
