Thanks, Lebbeous!

I grabbed our system admin this morning to take a look. His guess is a possible SQL table error or something with OpenSRF. 

I'll be sending info to Equinox to have our expert support team take a look at the raw data, but I'll send an update to the list when the solution is found.

Thanks again for your great explanation and directions on how to capture the needed information!

Hi Holly,

For this class of bug, where clicking a Save button doesn't seem to do anything at all, there is usually an error message in the JavaScript console of the staff client.

Assuming suitable permissions in the staff client, you can reach this in the menus via Admin -> For Developers -> JavaScript console.  I recommend you get the Javascript console open in one tab, and in another tab bring the Coded Value Maps interface to the point right before you would click save.  Then switch to the JavaScript console tab, click its Clear button, switch back to the Coded Value Maps tab, click Save, and finally switch back to the JavaScript console tab to see what has appeared.

It probably won't be a very human-friendly error message, but it usually contains a clue, and it can often be cross-referenced in the server logs by a System administrator type to find out more about the problem.

Be aware that these error messages could contain sensitive information that you'd want to redact before sharing, like authentication tokens (strings of 32 hexadecimal characters) and/or internal IP addresses.

Hope this helps,

Lebbeous
