Announcement loop reversion

I should mention, running on Windows 10, MS 6.3.80.11328.

My general workflow is to create a Text Cue (Insert Text, type or copy), then Right Click -&gt; Add Cue to Announcement Library. I'll assign it tags as needed.<br /> <br /> On a following week, I'll open up the Announcements Library (Advanced -&gt; Anncmt Loops) then use the pencil icon to edit (adding/changing names on birthdays, for example, or adding additional people to a general prayer request). Once editing is complete, I save the changes (using the save button below the editor, beside 'return to script'). The changes are not reflected on screen or retained at all unless I also close and re-open MS.<br /> <br /> I've just tried this out on my home machine, however, and I can't replicate it here either (working properly, it seems). I may need to just do a reinstall of MS on the auditorium machine and see if that clears it.<br /> <br /> I have a script control that calls one of the loops to begin at a particular time. I wonder if that may be affecting things? I'm working on adding script controls to my test script here at home but adding them is crashing MS...

Crashes aside, script controls may be at least part of the issue. When a script calls an announcement loop, changes to announcements (even ones not in the loop) are not consistently retained. Doesn't seem to matter if the loop is running or not when changes are made. I'll do some further testing with the machine in the auditorium and see if I can nail it down any better.

Back at the church building now, script controls seem to not be the issue here. I've wiped all old announcements, all old loops and all old tags. Started again with fresh cues and a fresh loop. Same problem. I'll try a reinstall.

Deleting the announcement database from Program Data, then doing a repair installation seems to have fixed things. Possibly a holdover from an earlier upgrade or something. Thank you anyway!

I am having the exact same issue. I have even tried deleting the announcement database and doing a repair installation but it did not fix anything. Any edits made to announcement loops are not retained. I can even open the loop, make edits to a text cue, save it, save the loop, go back to the script, then (without closing the Announcement Library dialog) open the loop again for editing and the changes I just made are not there. I am going to try with a fresh installation on another PC to see if editing announcements within loops works there.

Following my success a couple weeks ago, the problem recurred. I think I will follow Adam's lead and set up an announcement script. A slight retraining of volunteers is worth leaving behind the hassle of losing half a dozen edits.

I think I'll start using a separate announcement script as well. A fresh install did not solve the issue for me. Hopefully this issue will be looked at in future development as the functionality of being able to schedule announcements would be helpful.
