Comment 2 Peter Sampson 2020-06-14 10:09:16 UTC
Demoting this to P4 as we know we have a generic and much broader problem with our poor handling of metadata.

There is no proper release note provided by Gale either
Comment 3 Peter Sampson 2020-06-14 10:18:36 UTC

We are still receiving complaints about this bug (7 years later).
Comment 5 Peter Sampson 2021-02-09 16:49:37 UTC
restoring this to P3 - it should be release-noted - and we get Forum complaints about this
Comment 6 Peter Sampson 2021-08-19 10:15:57 UTC
upping this to P2 as it involves data loss
Comment 7 Peter Sampson 2021-08-19 11:12:06 UTC
I have transferred this bug to GitHub as the primary bug log for Muse - as it really deserves some attention
