The only thing really in common with these groups are that their role names follow “CityName TeamName 0-0-0”. However, I can change a role name in a different group to “CityName TeamName 0-0-0” and it works fine.
The last role changes were:
“Washington Capitals 2-6-3” to “Washington Capitals 3-6-3”
and
“Ottawa Senators 3-8-0” to “Ottawa Senators 3-9-0”
both completed at the same time on on April 30th.
Anything past May 1st doesn’t work. Although I was able to change the “Staff” rank to “St” and back again to “Staff” just fine, but when I try to update one of the team’s ranking it errors again.
I just tried pasting “Washington Capitals 3-6-3” into a role set of a different group, and it succeeded, however, “Washington” was replaced with #'s. My guess is role names are now using the new filter and for some reason is just failing to save when it detects something needs to be hashed.
Would it be possible for you to attempt to replicate those roleset name changes once more on another group? It may be expensive (I would try but I have no group space).
I see three plausible scenarios here
Those role name changes in particular have caused malformed data
Those role name changes in combination with the other roles have caused malformed data
I think its more to do with the format “CityName TeamName Number-Number-Number” since only 2 of the 4 groups listed have the Washington Capitals in it, but they all contain roles were at least 6 of them are in this format.
