Hi,
the "Link price to price guide detail on each item for sale" checkbox unter Sell/MySettings
is working well but isn't saved. When entering this tab again it is disabled
even it was enabled before (yes, I push "submit changes").

Regards,
Detlef

I believe this behavior is intentional for users that may inadvertently make
that selection, hit Save, and then feel inundated with too much information 'all
the time' while working with their inventories, and then not remember where to
turn that feature off. Like a per-session feature I think was the idea. I'm sure
others will clarify.

Those considerations aside, I would vote, Yes. I dislike any setting that doesn't
'stick' globally (unless there's an additional, Temporary, setting) but I also
understand the necessity for the reasoning.

I don't believe this to be the case. First, it doesn't actually present any additional
information unless you click on the link. But more importantly, the fact that
the box reverts to being unchecked doesn't actually cause the option to be disabled
unless you save changes on the My Settings page. So you would still need to go
to this page if you wanted to disable this option. Having it set up this way
actually makes it MORE complicated to disable the option, because when you go
to that page, you'd see the box is already unchecked, and you wouldn't know what
to do!


I reported this as a bug to the help desk Nov 22.

That all makes sense. A definite, Yes vote from me.

What exactly does this do? I happened to notice it in the store settings and
mine is unchecked but not sure if I should check it or not since I don't know
what it is for. Could someone please explain it for me? Thanks!
