Issue: Group Folder Settings Not Stored After Update

After updating Nextcloud from v28.0.9 to v28.0.14, group folder settings are not being saved properly.

Steps to Reproduce (as Admin):

  1. Create a new group folder.
  2. Assign the group folder to a group.
  3. Set a quota for the folder.
  4. Enable and configure ACLs.
  5. Refresh the page.

After refreshing, the folder is there but all settings are lost. However, repeating the steps a second time successfully saves the settings.

This issue does not occur on a test instance running v28.0.9. However, starting from v28.0.14, the problem persists. Even upgrading to NC Hub 29.0.11 does not resolve the issue.
Unfortunately there are no related errors in logs. In the browser console as well.

Has anyone else encountered this problem or found a workaround? Any help would be appreciated!

While it’s possible it’s driven by NC Server versions, the groupfolders app version is probably more relevant here. Do both v28 instances have the same app version? Also, was testing all done at the same time or over several days? I ask because new releases of the gf app were pushed out in the past two days for NC v28-v30. Might help pinpoint where the issue is.

thank you for the reply! You are right, the test instance has previous version of the gf app and works fine. Also this issue Page reload required to add group to newly created groupfolder · Issue #3480 · nextcloud/groupfolders · GitHub sounds very similar and still open. Will wait for the app update.
Thank you very much for the help!
