@dgt41 I'm afraid there are also a "Problem 3" and a "Problem 4"

Problem 3.

Three pictures are worth a hundred words...

A similar issues is present also for "Articles". Not sure about other batch operations

Problem 4.

I'm unable to reorder modules positions by dragging...

Problem 5.

Should we split this in different issues or we keep on going with this?

About problem 4: was that ever possible?

I'm pretty sure yes... let me check...

works like a charm with 3.3.6...

care to share a pic I don’t really get "reorder modules positions by dragging" in which view?

skype + teamviewer...

Is this all on your uniform server install? If it is then I am not
personally going to take any notice of any reports found on that as it is
clearly not performing as expected

@brianteeman Actually except the modal thing everything else is there..

Also for no 4 he is referring to com_modules, but for that a PR is on it’s way...

@brianteeman review the code and you'll believe... see PR #5309

@brianteeman ... and in any case I'm now double-checking on 2 different VPS, one in Amsterdam and one even closer to you, in London

Patch for 4 is merged.

Problem 3 is NOT a problem: it is clearly indicated in the modal.
"When copying and not changing position, it is nevertheless necessary to select 'Keep Original Position' in the dropdown"

Concerning problem 2:
I confirm the issue. I guess we have to reload the form in a way or another.

@infograf768 Wouldn’t be nicer if Module Assignment tab was just what the title says?
e.g.:

Do you mean "without giving the ability to edit the module?"

We can still have a link to open the module edit page, but if it would be in a modal we are back to the same problem

It is easy to set the title to readonly when the modal is used, but not the location as it is a specific field Type

you can pass the value from the modal, but no # id to target it… Let me see if I can come up with some fix in the current state

@infograf768 Regarding problem (or not problem) 3, you're absolutely right that it is documented that "When copying and not changing position, it is nevertheless necessary to select 'Keep Original Position' in the dropdown", but what is not documented is the side effect of not abiding to that rule: what I (as an end-user) would expect is some kind of warning or error message. Transforming the "copy" operation to a "move" operation is IMHO quite unexpected and a bad thing to do...

I've chatted with @dgt41 about that and he is saying that it is a not so easy thing to fix, but that when he will have some time he will take a look and see if something can be done.

Off the top of my head and without having thought to that much, I'm wondering if it wouldn't it be better to set the "Position field" to a default of "Keep original position"...

@infograf768 we might have a possible solution for problem no 2 at #5325
