db update does not preserve name of saved favorite script

[dalers]

I had one favorite saved ("Search Inventory Items") before performing db update 10. After performing db update 10 the favorite is listed as "undefined" in the "Commonly used scripts" selector.

The "undefined" entry can be deleted, and if saved again correctly shows "Search Inventory Items".

Following Tim's commits I found it necessary to manually delete favourites menu options from the database in table favourites, and clear browser cache with a hard reload.

manually delete favourites menu options from the database in table favourites, and clear browser cache with a hard reload.

What should users be told after a db update? Only that they MUST Ctrl-F5? Does it seem a manual database cleanup is also required to delete users' carefully currated favorites after a db update?

I'm getting back into PHP/HTML and looked up "clear browser cache with a hard reload" to make sure I understood. Fwiw for the benefit of anyone who has come across this topic....

Source: Conversation with Copilot,

"Clearing the browser cache with a hard reload" means forcing your web browser to discard its stored (cached) version of a webpage and download the latest version from the server. This is useful when a webpage isn't displaying the most recent content or isn't functioning correctly due to outdated files in the cache.

Here's how you can perform a hard reload in different browsers:

• Google Chrome:

  • Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5.
  • Mac: Press Shift + Command + R.

• Mozilla Firefox:

  • Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R.
  • Mac: Press Shift + Command + R.

• Microsoft Edge:

  • Windows: Press Ctrl + F5 or Shift + F5.

• Safari:

  • Mac: Press Command + Option + E to empty the cache, then click the reload button.

This process ensures that your browser fetches the most up-to-date version of the webpage, which can help resolve display or functionality issues.
