I was just adding some work-to-work relationships on Tor.com Short Fiction: Fall 2019 and Tor.com Short Fiction Summer 2019 and when I closed the dialogue box all of the entries had disappeared. The history shows all of the additions but they're not showing on the page.

I'm experiencing the same bug. Chandogya has disappeared at least twice from The Upanishads Part I and doesn't appear with screen refreshes.

I added the contents of a bunch of graphic novel collections several months ago, and they are not showing up now. So it's not just recently-added relationships.

>4 norabelle414: Yikes, that's true. I checked work-to-work relationships that were definitely showing before today. All of the relationships are gone.

Same with me - I've been cataloging DVDs and I know I added the relationships on various collections (or the existing relationships aren't there):

Have a history, but no relationships showing. The ones I did were done in the last few days.

I don't even see the history...

Forgot about this bug. https://www.librarything.com/work/14471258 needs doing once it is possible again.

I'm pretty sure this is affecting all books across the board. I've checked dozens and dozens of works and have not seen any that are showing a single relationship. It would be nice if staff would acknowledge the bug?

Same here for Some of the Best from Tor.com: 2019 Edition: relationship history shows I just added 24 "contains" relationships; the edit function (and the work page) say there are no relationships.

Edit: I see now that it shows amanda4242 created the same relationships.

Well, fuck.

I spent countless hours creating work-to-work relationships for all my SF collections and anthologies - over 3000 stories, where I have more than one copy of several. Every one I checked is gone.

Signal boosting with a subject line that might possibly get staff attention, but I wouldn't count on it:

>11 lorax: I'm really hoping that since the histories are still there that no actual information has been lost and the bug is just preventing the information from being displayed.

>10 lorax:

Well, fuck, indeed. That's a ton of work.

Just tried re-adding some relationships that I put in last week. Nothing happened, except they did appear on the Helpers log: Relationships.

@kristilabrie, has LT staff noted this Bug?

Tim has responded to the related DATA LOSS thread.

The issues appears to be with the display of work-to-work relationships. That might mean our recent additions will appear when the older changes do.
