We’ve seen multiple instances where requirements that had been previously approved are completely unchecked (we can deduce that the requirements were approved based on comments that are still there in some cases). Most recently, a scout’s progress in the personal fitness merit badge is completely g…

@amedwick - and you have the merit badge counselor role selected in the upper right ? The member id of the scout would be helpful in this case. I suspect something is up with the scout membership for it to post that not eligible notice.

So, I was able to get it to work by going into “Bulk Actions” and then “Merit Badge Bulk Entry,” which is not my regular workflow, but it did get the job done. I then had to approve everything on the “To Approve” tab. It is not very intuitive.

You should have been able to update the MB the way you originally tried. Unfortunately since you have done so another way we cannot determine what happened. If you encounter the message again please contact us so we can see the issue happening.

Have no fear, I am sure it will still be a problem for the next merit badge I am asked to be the counselor on. I think if you look at the logic behind why the DISABLED icon and blue error message appear, that might provide some insights in the meantime.

@amedwick We would need the Scout’s member ID number in order to take a look.

I don’t know what else to tell you. For every Scout for whom I am listed as the counselor, the checkbox function on the page where you think you would record completed requirements does nothing. The requirements are all marked as disabled; they all allow you to check a box, but no completion date bo…

@amedwick - can you provide member id numbers for the scouts

[image] If you are talking about these Blue Checkboxes they are always empty. Here you see (2) is Completed as Completed is under it (which is not ideal). If you are trying to enter dates see this video

We are just volunteers and can only relay issues to the developers. They will not just “investigate” a message. They want to see the issue occur. Until we can give them a case when it is occurring, they will not do anything about it.
