Hey @ngarafol, do you see a browser popup alert box after pressing "Save" saying "Saved successfully"?

[ht2]

Also it might be helpful to know which parts are not saving - is this across all fields or a handful? We can't replicate this on our 1.12.1 instances.

Actor is not saving now. Verb also did not save in other report. Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26XltWxUubU Will check if I get mongo timeout errors, that could be cause for not saving report values..

OK, I think I see the problem - the reports work using a "typeahead". You need to filter on existing agents/verbs/etc - by selecting something out of the dropdown it will format it ready for the query builder. Simply adding a name to the actor field won't create a catch all query to search all fields in that type. Try typing the name/email/account info of an actor that already exists in your LRS through statement insertion and you should see a drop down akin to this:

I should add, if you'd like to see that kind of functionality, please feel free to open a PR and work on making it happen!

[ngarafol]

What do you mean? I dont see any dropdown menus, thats why I am entering data manually.

From looking at the video @ngarafol it looks like you might not been seeing the drop down because of a slow connection to the LRS. It should come up eventually assuming you are searching for people that actually exist in the LRS.

[ngarafol]

Yes, even if I insert user from "statement.actor.name" that exists, I see typeahead requests you were mentioning but still no dropdown appears. I have debug enabled, and use clockwork inside developer tools...

@ngarafol can you please try these steps and record what happens as you do?

1. Create a new report.
2. Click edit on the new report.
3. Change the title of the report to "Edit 1".
4. Add an actor called "Actor 1".
5. Save the report.
6. Go back to the list of reports.
7. Click edit on the report you created in step 1.
8. Change the title of the report to "Edit 2".
9. Change "Actor 1" to "Actor 2".
10. Add a verb called "Verb 2".
11. Save the report.

I have a feeling that the last change is always saved, but not the changes before that.
