In terms of |moo| - that should be fine in the DB I think.
My initial stab at copying this setup in against 1.3-master seems to show it
working fine. I’ll have to install 1.2.17 to check out whether it breaks in
that version.

I will start over :-).
Before converting, when running 1.1.7 the field was set up as a multi-selection
list. We really never needed it that way and nobody who was still here knew
why it was - so we decided to change it after I upgraded.
So I upgraded from 1.1.7 to 1.2.17 and did the checks etc. Then I changed the
type of field to an enumeration and left the same settings for all the other
entries for the field. so basically the same menu entries are valid, just want
to use a normal drop-down enumeration where only one entry is allowed and not a
multi-selection list. (see attached for current field configuration).
When you filter on an individual tester e.g. km or jsmith, it always comes back
empty. If you filter on a non specific value like the blank/no-entry or [any]
it works.
So I looked into the DB and realized that the value jsmith was being saved as
"|jsmith|". so now jsmith doesn't match I guess. Basically I think I need
to strip off all the pipes from the 3 fields I updated from multi-selection
lists to enumerations.
Hope this makes more sense. I really just wanted to make sure I don't damage
anything in doing this. For now they are back to multi-selection lists.
Thank you

Hi KM,
Could you send a screentshot of the custom field configuration so it’s clear
what you’ve got set up? (I can then try to reproduce at this end more easily)
In addition, are you saying you think that the behaviour has changed due to
updating, or that the configuration of the custom field options has changed?
In terms of pipes, I might be wrong as I’ve not looked at the code, but I think
there may have been a change to strip trailing |’s

All
I have a custom field that was defined for years. We recently upgraded from
1.1.7 to 1.2.17. We thought everything was fine but it seems it is not. We
have a field that we use to designate the tester. it is just an enumeration
with a list of names and blank. Nothing fancy. however if we select any name
the results are always 0. if we choose "[any]" it is fine, and blank is fine.
Then I realized that the field used to be a multi-selection list. After the
conversion to the new mantis version I changed that field to an enumeration to
allow only one selection. the database values were originally saved with
pipes... e.g. "|myid|". ... which I think should be just "myid" right? ... in
either case. I could see if there were two values then it should be
"myid|yourid" or something maybe. Not really sure how they are kept.
So for now I have changed 3 of my fields back to multi-selection lists so the
filters work. Is there some sort of easy way for me to fix this? I guess I
could edit the DB directly.
Also - my other question -- should the field have pipes in it? what about
enumeration fields? Because the other thing I noticed while doublechecking
data after the conversion - some fields had pipes and some did not, even for
the same custom defined field.
Thanks
KM
