Plone 3 Global group-role can not be unselected

[narrowneck]

In Plone UI

Site Setup > User/ Groups > Groups tab > Add New Group TestNewGroup (and title NOT the same as ID or other group or ID) Save Select some roles for TestNewGroup Apply Changes

All good so far.

Unselect the roles set for TestNewGroup Apply Changes

Original selected roles reappear reselected!

Same behaviour with subsequent roles. Once selected and applied a role can not be unselected and applied with success. No error messages just tick reappear in select boxes. Running in Debug mode and css debug. Plone 3.0 18 August.

Yup, can confirm this for Plone 3.0 final. Should be fixed in 3.0.1, this is bad.

(I assume it's the old classic: checkboxes aren't in the request when a form is submitted without them, hence the values aren't changed)

[limi]

OK, tried fixing this by using the :default marshaller option (similar to how it's done in Archetypes' boolean.pt), but I couldn't figure it out. Here's the relevant AT template example:

Anyone else want to give it a shot? :)

The problem is not in the interface. It is in 'PlonePAS.tools.groups.GroupsTool.editGroup'. It was ignoring the empty list of roles. I committed a fix to PlonePAS.

This bug seems occur with Plone 2.5.x too => #5739

FYI fix was in http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/51366 51366.

Advice please: for as long as I'm limited to version 3.0.2 of Plone (awaiting the installer for Mac OS X):

• as a rule of thumb, is it OK/recommended to install files such as the two shown at http://dev.plone.org/collective/changeset/51366?

[wichert]

Don't reopen this bug - it has been fixed.

There is no rule of thumb, but in this case replacing those two files should work fine.

[grahamperrin]

Thanks - the revised files do seem to resolve the issue in Plone 3.0.2.

[grahamperrin]

Fix confirmed. Thanks.

This has regressed with the latest Plone release (3.0.5). See line 108:

http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/PlonePAS/tags/3.1/Products/PlonePAS/tools/groups.py

versus the previously committed changeset:

Plone-3.0.5 is using PlonePAS-3.1. The fix is in branch 3.x (included in the buildout branch for plone-3.0) and somehow wasn't included in the last release of PlonePAS. I've forward-ported the fix to trunk. Hope we can have a new bugfix release before 3.0.6...

[wichert]

This has been fixed, the fix just has not made it into a Plone release yet. That's no reason to keep this bug open though.

[esrever_otua]

???? So.... Are we saying that it will be in Plone 3.0.6? Given that this is not actually fixed in any released version of Plone (and there have been two released since the fix was committed to svn), I would have been more inclined to leave this bug open until such time as there is actually a Plone release out there that is fixed.

Perhaps trac needs another state aside from open/closed: release_pending...
