Hi, Have you been able to recreate this?

Hi, any updates on this?

I've a site going live next week. Is it a bug, or is it a problem just with my install?

Hi,

I'm working on another site and I'm still experiencing this problem. Any updates?

Quick recap.

1. Save a blog post with a status of published, it appears on the website
2. Return to the post, click meta and social tab, press save
3. Return to website, post missing
4. Return to post in cms, press save.
5. Post is visible on website.

Here's another video showing me clicking between the post tabs and pressing save.

Have you been able to recreate the problem locally?

That's great news. I've been using perch:groups, it makes a huge difference to managing content in the CMS. Looking forward to seeing the new extended properties solution.
