Bug: Brand link not working

[TeaMike]

i had a quick test on this feature when it was introduced and it seemed working fine. i didn't come around using it earlier but finally store fixing arrived on top of my list and i find the brand link doesn't work well:

• many stores, none or only product nr 1 have the link (no matter the product is in stock or not, or the item has existing branding or not). -some stores show the branding link on multiple products but not all (item 1,2,4,5,6 are ok, 3 and 7ff aren't. Before you ask: item 3 and 4 are both motorbikes; one normal one franchised, but are supplied from the same warehouse with my own production)

Notably, only the map's first product row contains a value in the column "office", all others are blank. Console says: Uncaught ReferenceError: addButton is not defined (program):25 XSCF Loaded!

Hoping for a quick fix on this one, thanks!

Brand link will not be supported in XS12. Do you have another idea of an automatic function that can replace it? As you see XS12 grow you may come up with an idea within the range of possibilities.

well it never properly worked but i still think its a great thing to quickly adjust advertising when its missing. It seems better to leave it to the player for individual setting of the expenses (vs a default "tv advertising" in the whole region). I also miss to see, within the office's advertising page, that a product isn't being sold (anymore) in the city where its advertised and thus could be disabled. Wholesale would complicate this but wholesalers tend to make region-wide advertising anyway. Since its something the player may work thru occasionally the brand link could appear on the marketing report as well, though it seems easier to work thru store by store instead of product by product. I remember we were discussing a formula previously where we could set a target brand value for stores and service enterprises, it seems to complicated to do that for products because of the city setting.

Those are just the issues, i am not sure how to solve it otherwise at this moment but just to say it again, brand link still looks like a great function.. if it works.

"that a product isn't being sold (anymore) in the city where its advertised and thus could be disabled" Planned in XS12 (the option to do so of course)

Maybe I can come up with something that comes close to your needs. This will be not high priority though.

having back the brand link would be great
