More Team Tag Craziness
This video probably captures best the total wierdness and inexplicable behavior and display of team tags:
In the video you can immediately see when I click Save Tags, suddenly 1 of the tags disappears & 2 new tags appear (out of the blue).
The 2 new tags don't actually seem to belong to any other single team, so I have no idea how the League Connect scheduling system even decided to pick those 2 tags.
Meanwhile you can see that in the team list, the Tags column never displays the new tag I typed, or the 2 that randomly popped into the team sidebard. All along the team list only displays the original "Classic" tag that was there prior to me adding more.
Also, before I refresh the browser session, I highlighted the tag column for the team named "FCYSL U12B Kirtland/Bloomfield". This was done to point out that no tags are appearing for this team. However, I had in fact added some for that team as well.
After refreshing my browser, the original (correct) tags appear for the team that did the weird vanish & replacement of the tags.
Meanwhile, one of the tags that should have been on the Kirtland/Bloomfield team still wasn't there. And even weirder is that I searched for any team with this tag, and it doesn't even exist now. How on Earth then did a non-existent tag get automatically thrown onto the team at the beginning of the video?
I would say what probably happened is there is a bug dealing with adding/saving tags. In this case it appears the tag got added to the web browser's DOM (or whatever League Connect uses to interact with the browser), but never got saved up to the server. The system treats whatever is in the DOM as an accurate & valid representation of the data, and therefore it believed this tag existed. And in fact the tag should have existed, because I did actually add it to a team in the same browser session within a couple minutes prior to this glitch.
I have no explanation or even guess as to why upon clicking save it removed from the team's tag list/display the tag I typed, or why it replaced it with the others. But obviously we have a bug here. And with a bug, there are going to be some inexplicable results (until the software developers get to the bottom of the bug, its behavior may seem erratic. There will definitely be a clear explanation as to why it's doing this though. There always is. I don't really care what the explanation is. I just want it fixed. ;-)
