[Bug]: Incident Page - Unit Status

[cbyrdmo]

Which version are you running?

4.2.17

How is it installed?

Git clone on Windows (XAMPP or similar)

What page or screen were you on?

Incident Page

What went wrong?

When I change the highlighted field to "At Scene" or "On Scene" it always switches back to "In Area"
If I change the status anywhere else (Unit Status Page, Situation status popup) it works correctly.

What steps lead to it?

Found it -- confirmed with a live reproduction, not just a read of the code. The Incident page's per-unit status control goes through a different write path than the Unit Status page and the Situation popup. That path resolved your picked status to its underlying action (e.g. "on scene"), then threw away the SPECIFIC status you picked and re-picked whichever status mapped to that same action sorted first -- which was "In Area" on your install. So no matter which on-scene status you chose, it collapsed to the same one. The other two entry points write the exact status you pick, which is why only the Incident page showed this.

Fixed both affected branches (responding and on-scene) to prefer the specific status you picked, matching how the existing "clear" branch already worked. Regression test drives the real write path with two distinct on-scene-mapped statuses to prove the fix. Shipping in the next release.

Can you confirm and close this once it's live?

Problem still exists. Running 4.2.19. Sorry for all the screenshots. Best way I could show it.

Create a new incident > go back to dashboard > select unit > dispatch > place enroute > from dashboard - responder status > select light blue "On Scene"

switches status to "In Area"

select from the menu list and the status is correct
