Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
Original post was closed and last update was that the issue was being sent to the developers. Checking to see if there is an update as I have seen several other posts citing the same issue/error message that have been closed as well with no resolve.
The last reply on got on my original thread that has since closed was that the issue was being sent to the developers. Do you know if this email is still monitored or if there is a better way to potentially get an answer to the issue? I’m looking for solutions to an issue that others seem to be having as well
Ok that helps. Just to clarify, at this moment Scoutbook Plus does not have a feature that allows new scouts be added to existing events, other than the “Future” check marks(which did not work, hence the reason for the original post) correct?
Future Check Marks were checked off. The issue was noticed with one scout(141976494) so I started going thru each event and adding everyone and noticed the counts for the events going up by more than 1. Thats when I tried using SB legacy with the extension but received the error message which led me to posting here to try to find an answer. I appreciate the help and I will just finish going thru the rest of the events to ensure all of the scouts and family members are aware of events.
The Unit Quick Entry feature allows multiple events to be deleted from scouts, I dont understand why deleting of events was prioritized over adding of events. This really would be a great feature instead of the Future check marks which can be easily forgotten.
The reason I keep trying to clarify is that, if it didn’t work for one or more scouts (but was checked-off prior to those scouts being added to the unit roster), then the automated system failed and needs to be investigated. If the scouts were already in the roster, I think this is the expected behavior. That is, these would be events added after the scout(s) were on the roster to which the scouts were not invited, and therefore the automated system wouldn’t add them as a scout who joined in the “Future”.
I suspect (but have no inside knowledge since I’m just a unit volunteer) that bulk-removing was prioritized over bulk-adding because of the desire to facilitate removal of scouts or adults who have left a unit. I am also guessing that bulk-addition to events was assumed to be covered by the functionality offered by the “Future” checkbox, and therefore de-prioritized (either temporarily or permanently under the theory of eliminating one more feature requiring support).
