Using "Publish to Roblox To..." twice breaks the "Publish Place" Menu

The Issue

When attempting to use “Publish to Roblox To…” for the second time the following error occurs.

The steps we follow to cause the bug are:

  1. Publish a place from within our development game (our game is a universe) to our live game.
    (e.g. [DEV] Club Roblox - Roblox to 🌀 MYSTERY ITEMS! Club Roblox - Roblox)

  2. Then for the second time, we click “Publish to Roblox To…”

  3. When we click on the place we want to publish to, the page goes blank and returns the error in the output window.


Presence
This bug has been occurring intermittently for a few months now but appears to have become a permanent fixture this last week.

I have been unable to reproduce this bug outside of our development universe, therefore think its potentially related to the number of places or their configuration in our universe. The universes causing this error are linked above in step 1 of the reproduction steps.

Our current workaround is as follows:

When attempting to publish for a second time, click on a different place to trigger the error again.
Then the 3rd attempt to publish to the original place will succeed.

alternatively,

Restarting the studio session and using “Publish to Roblox to” will succeed for the first time. (Subsequent attempts will fail)

Logs or additional info

Happy to provide any extra info required or log files on request.

Why not just “Publish to Roblox”? It should just publish to the same place you loaded it from?

I’d try uninstalling and reinstalling Roblox in a case like that.

I did everything. i watched tutorials on Youtube and all I had to do is remove the host file out of my folders and put it on my desktop.

Thanks for the report! We’ve filed a ticket to our internal database and we’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Please note that filling a bug report does not guarantee that it will be fixed once triaged.

I started encountering this issue a few months ago (posted about it here: "Publish to Roblox As..." prompt breaks after the first use) and I’m also still having this issue.

It does seem like it’s related to the number of places that are in the game universe. If I am publishing to a game that has more than 1 page of places (for example, over 10 places), it will error after I try doing this a second time. However, it does not error if I’m publishing to a game that has only one or two places.

After publishing to the game with more places, if I attempt to publish to a game with fewer places, it will still error, but then the third attempt will be fixed and work properly with any game.

When publishing to the game with more places, I found that if I scroll down to load more places before actually saving/publishing, then it will not error on the second attempt.
