User List Type Ignored When Renaming

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Manage My Lists – Rename – Edit List form: User list type selection is ignored when list is renamed. The renamed user list retains its original list type of “Personal,” viewable only by the user, or “Global,” viewable by all Guide to Reference users.

Add Selected Items to List form: User list type defaults to “Personal” on this form, even if the user list to which items are being added is already a “Global” list viewable by all Guide to Reference users. If the user doesn’t change type back to “Global,” then the “Global” list can unintentionally be converted to a “Personal” list viewable only by the user.
