Null Edit Test - Page A

Page Content

• Has Comment: Foo
• Semantic Dependency: Null Edit Test - Page B

Notes

Here is a summary of the issue we are experiencing with semantic data not being updated by null edits:

• Let page Null Edit Test - Page A contain the source Bar
• Let page Null Edit Test - Page B contain the source Foo.
• Let Property:Has Comment contain the source This is a property of type TextLa propriété « A le type » est une propriété déclarative et peut être utilisée seulement sur une page de propriété ou de catégorie..

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Manually edit Null Edit Test - Page A so that Foo,
2. then visit page Null Edit Test - Page B and note that it does indeed display the new value in B (i.e. “Foo”).
3. View the properties of page Null Edit Test - Page B
   1. note that the value for Property:Has Comment remains “Bar”.

Historically, we could trigger the semantic data to update via null edit (e.g. editing the source, adding a white space, and saving), however, since upgrading to SMW 4.2.0 we are no longer able to update how the semantic data is set on Page B unless we make an edit which actually changes the content of the page.
