Merge function for Accounts orphans related Cases

Hi,

We currently use Enterprise v11.0.3 but we have found this bug. The system orphans related records when merging. Looking at the portal, this was identified in v7.8 (2017-02-17).

What is the status of this bug? It seems quite a significant issue, has anyone else noticed this?

Kind regards john

Description
Steps to reproduce:
In Sugar 7.8.0.0
- Create two Accounts, Company A and Company B
- Create 5 Cases related to Company A
- Create 105 Cases related to Company B
- Merge Company B into Company A from Accounts listview

Expected results:
Post merge Company A has 110 related Cases.

Actual results:
Post merge Company A has less than 110 related Cases. In testing this was 94 but the number can vary.

Notes:
Looking at the cases table in the database reveals that the account_id field on the missing cases is NULLless

  • HI , thanks for raising this, I was not aware of that issue and agree that it is quite a significant one! I'm now also interested to know when this will be fixed!

    Because at least from my experience Sugar has a bit of a track record of not fixing issues that impair data consistency, which I tend to see as severe and critical issues because they have the potential to hugely impair data quality and therefore the reliability of the system, if they go unnoticed.
