PeriodO Client not accepting all the changes made to an existing authority about periodo-client HOT 3 OPEN

I merged this submission and can confirm that the submitted version included a successful end-date change.

from periodo-client.

@rybesh Is this related to the problem the person who submitted the BSA periodization is having with attempts to change language and date labels? She writes:

I had to go back again several times to fix the labels because they were returning to the previous ones (when I was changing English to Modern Greek and BCE to BC) . Maybe it's just a glitch. In the end I had to work on the json file, that I downloaded and reimported as a backup file.

Will make a new issue if you think this is a different problem.

@rybesh I've replicated this problem with an edit to the ArkeOpen collection, in which I edited both the start date and the source note and submitted a patch that recognized changes to both of those fields. The merged version, however, only included the change to the source notes, and dropped the change to the date. A second patch with the changed entry from the same local collection shows only the date change and merges successfully.

Without knowing how the programming works, I would hazard the guess that the change-submission or merge script only recognizes changes to the single most recently edited field, so by default only updates one value, no matter which field was edited.
