#9857 new defect

Address Preset doesn't keep the entry from before

Reported by: mikecc Owned by: team
Priority: normal Milestone:
Component: Internal preset Version: latest
Keywords: template_report address prefill Cc: simon04

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Mark a node which is already an address or add address information with Presets/ Annotations/ Adresses (e.g. addr:street is filled) -> Apply Preset
  2. Mark the next node(s) which should get the same value (tag addr:street does not exist for these nodes resp. is still empty).

What is the expected result
Now I expect in Presets/ Annotations/ Adresses/ Street Name is filled with the same string as before.

What happens instead?
Presets/ Annotations/ Adresses/ Street Name is empty

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Workaround could be the HouseNumberTaggingTool ("k"). That tool reacts as whished (the values used before are kept), but it's not useful for me, because I want to change multiple addresses at the same time. With HNTT you can only change one address once.

The address preset worked until about 8 weeks ago how I needed it. If multiple addresses are marked and I use the tool, already set tags with different values (e.g. addr:housenumber) are marked as "<different>", unset tags are filled with the value. After "Apply Preset" already set values are kept, new are added.

Happily, I found an old josm.jar (5576) on my PC. With that Address Preset works fine. Would be great if it could be fixed in the newer versions.
Tested the behaviour additionally today with 6950 - doesn't work yet...

Please, could you try with some other versions ?
Have a look at download and the subfolder Archiv for older versions and start them on the terminal with java -jar josm-snapshot-XXXX.jar where XXXX is the version number.

Do not forget to add the plugin version.

Thanks

By the way, you are still using openjdk-6 which will be only supported for the next two month. Try to use openjdk-7 if possible.

Hi skyper,
thx for the response. In the meantime I did a look in the Archive and tried several snapshots. So I found out 6767 still works for me, 6780 not anymore. That helped me to narrow it down to r6772 which "fixed" ticket #8413 .
The feature with prefilled values has been declared there as a bug.
I would see me as a heavy address contributor. My workflow is to take over the housenumbers (not the streetname etc.) from released official sources. osmwiki:Maps4BW
I add the housenumbers for a certain area, go later to this area and check and add/correct them on the tablet (offline) if
I see conflicts to the reality. Then at home I add my observations and complete the addresses (incl. streetname, place, zipcode etc.) in interaction with mappaint styles (colored addresses etc.) There is the prefilled data extremly helpful and efficient.
I can imagine this is a tricky situation. I don't expect 2 presets, but would really like to be able to switch on the old behaviour (eg. in Advanced Prefs or as an extra downloadable Preset or whatever). In the meantime I can use the current JOSM for standard work and 6767 (how long?) for address completion.
With the Java thing: I've seen this too and have updated already.

Thanks for investigating. Is it now a feature or a bug ?

Clean solution is to make it configurable, you are right.

The preset will not work. See simon04's comment on #8413.

As long as you only use it offline for your address maybe for a life time or longer. Problems usually arise if something on the server (OSM) changes, like paths and API, e.g. you could still use a new version to download/upload but for sure no bugs will be fixed as it is only a snapshot.

With the Java thing: I've seen this too and have updated already.

Nice

Maybe it's philosophy :-)
For me it's a bug - something what worked fine before does not work anymore. I think the original setting use_last_as_default was done by purpose. The discussion in #8413 shows me that there was an uncertainty in the beginning (before the change). On the other handside I have a certain understanding that it can be confusing for beginners.

Clean solution is to make it configurable, you are right.

Would be great. Standard can be as it is now, so beginners are not confused. But an option for "power address mappers" should be there to make the prefill available again.

Having a flag in the advanced preferences would be easy to implement (at the location of !presetInitiallyMatches in TaggingPresetItems.java in the source code). However, also a "power address mapper" might then enter unwanted address tags when using the preset for updating/correcting objects.

I don't see a way how JOSM could distinguish the "mapping many new addresses" from "updating a few addresses" use-case. Does anyone?
