Submitted category not correctly shown

In the list of our suggested edits, we are getting quite a bit of extra information since a while - an evolution I highly appreciate (Kudo’s to the Maps team!). In a particular case, however, part of the information shown in the list is incorrect: for some suggested category edits, the notification shows as suggested category ‘Point of Interest’ instead of the category you actually submitted - as you can see in the screenshot below

The edit as such was processed correctly, as the new suggested category is correctly shown on the POI when checking it after the edit has been approved - as you can see in the 2nd screenshot

@sonnyNg could you please have a look into this?

Hello

It’s not the only thing you may of spotted , the colour for PENDING has changed and now has the same colour as APPROVED which is weird and I’am guessing a coding error.

Hi @JanVanHaver ,

Thanks for reaching out with the interesting observation with the broad details! : ]

I will check on this regard, as just to be sure, would the occurrence with edit information “Point of interest” is still currently be in your Edits page?

Hi @GenerolHavoc ,

Thanks for checking!

Just to be sure, would you mind sharing a screenshot to check the current situation on your end, as should it also be close to what was suggested in the Idea Exchange post [mobile] Missing colors in EDITS tab. Bad thing for people with vision handicap, kindly shared by @Rohlik ?

Do feel free to add further description if convenient !

P/s: Would you rather have the topic developed in a separate post?

Hi @ErmesT ,

Thanks for having added the example! : ]

I do believe that it is indeed aligned with the main regard, as I will add it as a detail to the investigation.

As I wanted to check, should the screenshots show, that it may occur both on desktop and mobile, correct?

Yes @sonnyNg

I see the same information about the “Point of Interest” in both Desktop and Mobile

@sonnyNg yes, the ‘Point of interest’ is still in the notifications now, for several different suggested category changes… but not for all; some suggested category changes are correctly shown in the list.

Still missing the colour as shown by the picture as of 5 minutes ago.

Using Chrome Version 80.0.3987.106 (Official Build) (64-bit) on PC.

If they can fix it, not sure if taking suggestion though would be good if Approved was Green, Pending was Yellow or Orange and Not Applied was Red.

Hi @JanVanHaver , @ErmesT ,

Thank you kindly for the further information!

Please do let me know if there would be any changes in the forthcoming period. : ]

Hi @GenerolHavoc ,

Thanks for providing the details! : ]

I just wanted to let you know that the current subject would be continued in your already created post POI : Re : Pending Colour Re : The Colour same as APPROVED, should it be more convenient to follow up with the information on the matter.

@sonnyNg and @JanVanHaver

II just noticed the same mistake on Android.

Proof provided in the oucs below.

I remember clearly because for category I could choose between

Yarn Store

And

Yarn store

Some category clean up would be appreciated.

Cheers

As it would seem so far, I would also wanted to ask, @JanVanHaver , @ErmesT , the occurrence would happen mostly on Approved edits, correct?

Hi @sonnyNg

Would you like us to report on a very similar and new problem in the list of edits here in this thread?

We now see ghost entries related to deleted places, where there is no business name indicating what business we just deleted. This is very new (< a week old). Earlier we could only mark businesses as permanently closed - not it seems we can actually delete them.

Godkendt - Findes ikke

means

Approved - Does not exist

These entries seem to persists.

Cheers

Hi @MortenCopenhagen ,

Thank you for noticing!

It would seem that the two edits you have are successful edits of removal of two different locations (on 17th and 18th of February), correct?

I do think it would be more handy, in case there would be other similar cases to be noticed, if we detach this subject into a separate post, would you agree to that? : ]
