Make a megathread for Catalog Asset Bugs

Forum Help Forum Features
#1

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to scroll on the “latest” page of the DevForum without bumping into multiple catalog asset bug reports. This easily floods the Latest page and sinks useful posts to the bottom.

Moreover, Catalog Asset Bugs usually involve minor adjustments to an item, a typo in an item’s description that usually do not require a big amount of attention.

This idea is sort of already applied for documentation typos or minor edits.

I believe that individual bug reports should be reserved for more serious issues that require further attention by Roblox engineers.

If Roblox were to implement this, it would also help clean-up the Latest page on the forums from nitpicky posts about specific Roblox items.

I had that in mind for quite some time and ask the mods about this but then I just didn’t care anymore. :woman_shrugging:

Anyways this is a great idea and I fully agree that the sheer amount of catalog asset bugs is just unreal.

Thanks for the feedback, as a short-term change we’ll mute this category by default for new forum users.

If you want to mute/unmute it for yourself, go to the category page:

And find the notification controls:

You can change it to “Muted” to remove the threads in this category from Latest.

Why not just make a mega-thread for it? Won’t it save space, be less of a hassle, and be super easy to do?

Internally we use a separate ticketing system to keep track of the work and it’s generally more convenient to keep it one bug report per thread, otherwise you need to manually keep track of replies that have / have not been answered.

The technical writing team for the docs site decided that another approach worked better for their specific use case. They can often apply multiple fixes at the same time because it’s all in a single code base and it’s easy to find the right place to modify.
