Edit Group function on WG/BoF non-functional #7660

Open martinthomson opened 2 months ago

Describe the issue

As chair for https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/diem/about/ that page shows an "Edit Group" button that leads to a page that has an "Additional URLs" form field.

I entered things into that field and submitted the change. No change was visible. Subsequent attempts to "Edit Group" show the form field empty again.

Perhaps there is some sort of approval required for this, but that is not communicated.

I was adding a link to deal with #7624 manually, if that helps.

Code of Conduct

That the Additional URLs field is still available on the form is surprising, and is a bug.

It was what existed in the models before we had GroupExtResources, replacing GroupURL, and the notion is no longer used in the code.

Thanks Robert. For information: I used the Additional URLs field because the "Additional Resources" field is a little intimidating. That is, it is quite a bit more cognitive load to take on.

Yes, it is a horrible interface, I agree. And the implementation under it is just as fraught. I thought we had an issue to make it saner, but I'm not finding it quickly. If I don't resurface it soon, I'll make another.
