When editing an existing record in a database with Fauxton's editor,
the full JSON contents should be displayed and editable.
This includes a top level key ok in the JSON object.
Current Behavior
When editing a JSON with ok key in it,
the ok key does not make it into the editing field.
Hence if the ok key is not manually entered again
before saving the record, the entry ok in the JSON is lost.
In Views and in "All Documents" the JSONs are handled correctly, though,
so it is no CouchDB issue, just something specific with the Editor.
Possible Solution
unknown
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Create some empty database test and remove the member role, such that the curl below works
No "ok" is shown, you only see something like this:
{ "_id": "where is the ok?", "_rev": "1-0e1f848d38f32bfb95e4ced1f50afcad" }
But curl http://127.0.0.1:5984/run/where+is+the+ok%3F shows, the entry is in there: {"_id":"where is the ok?","_rev":"1-0e1f848d38f32bfb95e4ced1f50afcad","ok":"hello world"}
Also views can access and display it correctly, so it luckily only a bug in Fauxton's editor
AFAICS the editor removes the entry when loading a record for some unknown reason.
It is unknown to me, if other entries than ok are affected, too.
Context
I hope this is the right place to report, as I found no better place.
And I tried to locate a similar already existing issue but was unable to spot one.
And thanks for CouchDB, of course!
