Description John Ralls 2015-01-06 14:49:00 UTC 
I have following problem; When I try to update phone number or something
else in customers data the changes is not saved. It is gone next time I log
into Gnucash.
I am useing Latest version (2.6.5) of Gnucash, Windows7  and Mysql as
backend. 
The same problem is present also when I use Kubuntu with mysql. I have to
use Mysql Workbench or someting else to change data in the database. Does
anybody have a solution on this?

Not able to replicate. Since this is copied from the mailing list no reporter will see the status change, so I'll ask there.
Comment 2 John Ralls 2016-08-22 20:32:01 UTC 
Actually, yes I can: I missed a step. There's some weird state issue going on: If the customer is created and then edited in the same GnuCash session then address edits are committed to the DB, but when editing in a later session the address edits are not committed, though other changes (like customer name) are.
Comment 3 John Ralls 2016-08-22 22:22:52 UTC 
Found it, fixed it. load_address wasn't passing through the parent to the constructor, and mark_address wasn't dirtying the parent. Since addresses don't have their own table they rely on the parent object to write them out to the DB, but of course it won't if it doesn't think it's dirty.
