CK - Author birth date

Hello,

not all language pages are changing after editing a mistyped date:
https://www.librarything.com/author/sartoriusjoachim

Changed May to March -> English page change did work - German & Dutch page not.

Thanks for looking & help!

Kind Regards,
Petra

Not a bug. Each language has separate data. If data has been entered in a language page it will need to be changed or deleted. If there is no specific data for the language it will show data from another language, but the own language data takes precedence. I have now corrected the German and Dutch. Other languages are not filled in.

>2 MarthaJeanne: It still says May on German and and Dutch CK

Just tried again. Saved. Showed 03. Looked again and ir was 05.

>4 MarthaJeanne: Yes, 3 of us tried changing it by now, but it doesn't stick

I think you need to be an account in the foreign language to edit some of the CK data in that language. It's the same problem that causes the "combination issues" on some split or combined pages.

>6 DuncanHill: IIRC there's a bug in the non-English sites where changes to CK don't stick. Logging in to the other language(s) doesn't matter. (I've confirmed this myself.)

>7 karenb: Thanks, so worse than I thought then. 2022! Must be coming up to the "couple of weeks" stage :)

I have steps to reproduce the bug at https://www.librarything.com/topic/338817#8912081 for @timspalding, whenever he can get to it. It's on the long list. Sorry for the trouble in the meantime!

Isn't this also related to the ever updating bug by JKM2020 when they are working CK? (I can't seem to find their thread)
