smart group creation overwrites other groups
November 08, 2010, 09:50:33 pm
Recently I ran into some trouble with group creation (a smart group) which deleted an exisiting group.  The new group had the same name as the old group.  A differnt group_id was assigned to the new group and resulted in foreign key errors when attempting update other entries in the MySQL database (specifically, civicrm_subscription_history).  To fix this problem, I deleted the new group and, using a database backup to determine the db variables which comprised the old group, I recreated the old group using phpmyadmin.  This has fixed my problem (well, there are no more errors being thrown).

From experience this I have a few questions:
1. Is this a bug which should be reported?  I cannot recreate this problem using the demo site, so I am not sure where to go from here.  I did create this problem right after an upgrade from 3.2.0 to 3.2.3.
2.  Are there any other locations in the mysql database where I might need to change/add the values of the old group? 

Many thanks for any help.
Craig

Craig:

Can you replicate this on http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org and if you are able to replicate do file an issue in bug tracker.

Thanks,
Kurund
