[jira] [Commented] (WHIMSY-398) Editing my Whimsy members.txt messed up my data

["Sebb (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-398?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17703405#comment-17703405 ] 

Sebb commented on WHIMSY-398:
-----------------------------

Avail ID is used as the key to your entry, so it's not surprising the entry disappeared.

Also Forms on File is maintained by the secretary, and should be left alone.

I have restored those fields, and your entry is now visible again.

Whimsy should probably check that the amended entry still has the required content.

> I just used [https://whimsy.apache.org/roster/committer/coar] to edit my '{{{}Members.txt{}}}' entry, and now it appears to be gone.  As does my 'forms on file' and 'member status' fields, possibly among others.
> I _did_ remove some of the textual information that appeared to be duplicated in the other fields on the page (like PMC membership,  '{{{}Avail ID{}}}', {_}&c.{_}), but AFAIK i didn't delete the entire {{Members.txt}} form field *content* before clicking on submit.
> So, hopefully, there's a way to roll this back.  The {{/committers/{_}user{_}}} form appears to be an update-in-place, so I can't use my browser's Back button to move to a version prior to the edit.
> If some of the information that populates the other fields on the form has its authoritative version in the {{members.txt}} entry, it came as a surprise to me..!
