Updates made to issue incorrectly overwriting other issues

[Joey Alain]

Twice now, I have been browsing issue B. I will save my changes for issue B, then click the breadcrumb link at the top of navigate to issue B's parent, issue A. The entire page doesn't reload when navigating this way, only the inline content frame does.

I will make changes to parent issue A and then save. Upon returning to child issue B, I will find the entire description frame overwritten with the content I just saved to parent issue A. I will refresh numerous ways, numerous times, clear the cache, but it has been overwritten. 

I will have to use the history to rebuild the content and reformat it.

This has happened going both ways with a parent and/or a child being overwritten with content from another issue. 

Best guess, it appears that when clicking the breadcrumb, while the description frame changes it's almost as if the actual unique ID of the issue you're editing remained the original issue. If I use full screen mode instead and use full page reloads to navigate around, this does not happen.

Hey Joey,

You should probably go ahead and submit a bug report to Atlassian:

Be sure to include screen prints of what you are seeing.

I seem to be experiencing the opposite of this -- twice recently, I've returned to an open browser tab of a child issue and found that the description has been overwritten by that of the parent. When I check the History, there is no log of the description being changed. On closer inspection, the history does show that I changed it, I just didn't catch it at first.

I tried to submit a bug to Atlassian, but I was redirected to talk to our site admin since I think I either don't have the right permissions, or we don't have the right product for me to do that. 

Glad I found this thread because I thought I was losing it!

Hi @Joey Alain

I remember from two bug reports which are referring to such encounter:

• Clicking on the Summary of a child issue will copy the value to its parent when navigating back trough the breadcrumb
  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76050
• Summary of the Parent issue is overwritten with the summary of the Child issue
  https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-76134

The second one is meanwhile closed as duplicate but it shows the effect in an animated GIF pretty well.

Cheers,
Daniel
