New Version Update Still Adds Duplicate Armor Entries

1777867954

Edited 1777868296
This happens every time in my campaigns when there is a new update to the sheet. Duplicates of the existing armour are added, and worse. What appears to happen is that the update process looks at the items that are showing in the Armour Details section . It then duplicates them in the  Equipment   section   Armor Tab  - leaving the Magical checkbox unchecked when the items were originally marked as Magical - and then makes the new duplicates the items that are showing in the  Armour Details section . This appears to happen 3 times. The following are screen shots of a character in one of my campaigns. Last week, I updated these characters and made sure the  Armour Details section matched the   Equipment   section Armor Tab. I have done the same in another campaign and the same thing happened. 1. Here we see the  Armour Details section . All looks fine. The three bits of armour this 11th level thief has are all magic and are AC 8 bracers, +2 Cloak, and a +1 ring.   2. However, slide down to the  Equipment   section and look at the duplicates! You can tell the 3 items I entered last week because the Magical checkboxes are ticked.  The  AC 8 bracers, +2 Cloak, and a +1 ring are repeated 3 times!  You'll also notice the duplicates do not have the Magical checkbox ticked. 3. So what do we do? Let's delete the last three first. Here you see the  Equipment   section ,  Armor  tab has 2 of the duplicated  AC 8 bracers, +2 Cloak, and a +1 ring left after deleting the last occurrence of these three items. 4. Now we expect that since the  Armor   section will be the same as it was in 1, above. Unfortunately, it is not. The sheet update process has done as I described initially: Duplicates AC 8 bracers, +2 Cloak, and a +1 ring in the  Equipment   section Armor Tab  and then makes the new duplicates the items that are showing in the  Armour  section . However, when deleting the last set of duplicates, the entries of AC 8 bracers, +2 Cloak, and a +1 ring in the  Armour section  have disappeared! Again, this has happened in both campaigns. Mysterious duplicating armour items have been happening a lot, at least since I started two new campaigns in October, and I am positive it was a vexing issue before that.

Not ignoring you Tim... I just haven't been able to replicate this behavior on my end.  I've checked multiple personal games as well as the beta game characters (100+ of them) and none of them appear to have duplicates armor entries.  I've sent you a private message. If anyone else is seeing this behavior, I would appreciate any observations you can share. Your browser, os, any extensions running, are these specific types of characters perhaps (ie older characters that were ported over from the original 1e sheet, transmogrified, duplicates, imported, brand spanking new, etc.)  Anything.  TIA 
Hey Vince! I do see this behavior quite a bit. But I have not been able to pinpoint anything other than I think it happens when players update something in the armor section. We no longer use scripts to update/add armor because there was just too many issues. Its one of those things that seems to get worse with use - my monsters/npcs that wear armor don't have the issue at all but I rarely open their sheets.

I've worked on refactoring the Armor Details and Equipment Armor syncing functions to be much more efficient and compartmentalized. Beta game has been updated. Still testing, but I'm hoping to push to production soon.

I have updated the custom characters sheet mod that eliminates the duplication if you're interested.&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/earmarkaudiology-png/1e-AD-D-Character-Sheet-Mod/commit/e457889cd8f79b781532093d9c393cc90f2a94a2" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earmarkaudiology-png/1e-AD-D-Character-Sheet-Mod/commit/e457889cd8f79b781532093d9c393cc90f2a94a2</a>

Thank you for your efforts. I'm in the process of some other stuff ATM, but will definitely look at this.
