Contacts and Contact Group Relations

Post by emartine »

I Created a user called user9.
This user has a contact called user9.
I created a contact group called User_Test_Group.
From this contact group called User_Test_Group I clicked on Manage Contacts and added user9.

When I go to Contacts --> user9 --> Manage Contact Groups I don't see a relationship to User_Test_Group in here.
Shouldn't there be? The configuration was applied.

Can you click the "Relationship Info" icon (Blue exclamation) to the right of the contact and/or contactgroup and post the relationship output from the top blue msg box?

I might file a feature request for this, because it would make sense to display it in both places. However since you added the contact to the group from the Contact Groups page, it currently does not show if you view the Contact Groups from the Contact page. A bit confusing, but it is still applied.

Edit:
I was able to recreate the issue and I believe it is a bug. I filed an internal bug report (ID 4961) to our system.
