Unable to add games to franchises

Post by howabe »

Hi,

It seems that adding games to franchises (or vice versa) isn't working correctly.

For example, the title Anonymous;Code (https://games.criticker.com/game/AnonymousCode/) belongs to the pre-existing franchise Science Adventure (https://games.criticker.com/games/?collection=50741). Updating its information to add the franchise doesn't result in any noticeable effect and it is not added to the franchise. Conversely, viewing the franchise's page and adding the title from there also produces no effect. When submitting a new title, including it in a (pre-existing) franchise on its submission page also results in it not being added.
Note that creating a new franchise when submitting a title seems to correctly create and add the title to the franchise.

On a related note, when updating a title's information to add a franchise, there seem to be no auto-fill dropdown when typing the franchise name, meaning you can't see whether the franchise already exists or select it for ease of entry.

This might be broken across the board. I cannot add the TV show "Mystery Road: Origin" to the Mystery Road franchise.

Thanks for reporting this! We'll check it out soon... you're definitely right that the "Franchise Dropdown" when typing in a Franchise Name seems to be busted.

I think this is one of those areas of the new version of the Title Information Page that we need to spend a little more time with. We'll get back to you soon!

This should be working again! We've also fixed up the "Auto-Complete" for franchise names, so that you should now be able to find them more easily.

Thanks again for reporting it!
