Description

In Enumerations, create a new TimeEntryActivity with these settings:

Go in a project / settings / Activities (time tracking) the activity is listed properly:

Enable the activity, and save.

Then, in the Enumerations page, change the name of the activity and save.

Now, go back to project / settings / Activities (time tracking):

Expected: The name of the activity should be updated to the new name (Test B).

Note that I can force the update by clicking on the "Reset" button on the same page, but I then loose all of my other activities settings for the project...

On 3.1.2.

Could reproduce the issue on 3.2.1-stable... I followed exactly the steps as described.

#7 Updated by Stephane Evr over 6 years ago

Note that I think this issue is really annoying. This means that the projects will always keep the old activity names, resulting in discrepancies in the time entry activities reports...

#8 Updated by Stephane Evr over 6 years ago

#20018 Is a consequence of this issue

#17 Updated by Marius BALTEANU almost 5 years ago

The issue still reproduces on 3.4.1.

#18 Updated by Sébastien Douheret about 1 year ago

Problem still exists in 4.0.4 - stable.
Any change to have a fix or a workaround ?

What I don't understand, in my case some projects only use the system activities (IOW enumerations with parent_id = NULL) and other projects use duplicate activities (activities with parent_id != NULL).
Any explanation about system versus project activities logic in redmine is welcome, it will help me to understand and propose a fix.

Thanks in advance.

#19 Updated by Mizuki ISHIKAWA about 1 year ago

Let's take the data of #21056#note-15 as an example.
"Administration> Enumerations> Activities (time tracking) New value" will create data like 33.
Then, when you save the settings for each project, data with project_id such as 41 or 45 will be generated.
I expect the 41 and 45 names to be updated when the 33 name is updated, but that's not really the case.

I have attached a patch that will automatically update 41 and 45 names when 33 name is updated.

Since the bug that the name is not updated has existed for a long time, it is possible that there is a project that has been used for a long time without being renamed.
I thought that it might be a problem if I change it suddenly with this change, so I try not to update the ones whose names are already inconsistent.(name: self.name_before_last_save)

#20 Updated by Mizuki ISHIKAWA about 1 year ago

I fixed it because it contained unnecessary code.
