Hidden is not saved in Topic Editor

You cannot hide root topics. Does this happen with child topics as well?

[eSilverStrike]

I tested and was able to hide all child topics. Top level Topics (those in the root) cannot be hidden since they are the top level and do not have a parent. Hiding them would prevent a user from being able to select the topic and any topic below it.

Did I miss something in my testing Omal and are there cases where it doesn't work?

[mystralkk]

Maybe Omal tried to hide top-level topics in vain. If this is the case, this issue is not a bug, but we should have to make it clear that you cannot hide top-level topics in the topic editor.

[eSilverStrike]

Yup. The current label sort of does at it mentions a parent topic but it may not be super clear.

• No, it is ok.

  but it may not be super clear

• I agree.

1) "Topic will be hidden in the Topic Block until it's Parent Topic is selected" (current label)

2) "Topic will be hidden in the Topic Block (if this Topic is a Child) until it's Parent Topic is selected"

3) "Topic is displayed in Topic Block only when Parent Topic is selected"

Hard to describe feature without a tool tip but I think number 3 is the best option.

[mystralkk]

I agree number 3 is best. In addition, it would be better to hide the "Hide" checkbox when the user selects the ROOT topic with the help of JavaScript.

Implemented JavaScript part with change set 344b7512ce19dac13b6d95d6e4696f82f0234397.

Noticed an issue. The hidden checkbox is not visible on the edit form when the page first loads up for a child topic. It only becomes visible if I change the parent topic select box.

Fixed with change set 44781124da693194620f5b93e5c0805098a4971c.
