Issue Description
In a UK Bill project, if a List of Draft Amendments has been created during the pre-introduction stage, and an ‘As Introduced’ version is subsequently published (either by the Commons or the Lords), the amendments in the pre-introduction LoDA will disappear from the Amendment Manager tab. (The LoDA itself will still be visible on the Amendment Workspace tab, however.)
As a result of this bug, any amendments which are Submitted from the pre-introduction LoDA will not be visible to Commons or Lords users.
Additionally, amendments which were drafted in pre-introduction LoDAs and then copied and pasted into new LoDAs will continue to exhibit this problem, even if a published ‘As Introduced’ version of the bill existed when the new LoDA was created.
Please also note that any new amendments drafted in a pre-introduction LoDA, or a duplicated version of a pre-introduction LoDA, will continue to exhibit this problem, even if a published ‘As Introduced’ version of the bill exists when the new amendments are drafted.
Workaround
Note that this workaround should be performed before submitting your amendments from the LoDA, otherwise it won’t work. As soon as you submit your amendments they become locked for editing, so attempting to move or update the LoDA after that point will fail and a warning will appear, such as this:
Workaround Steps:
If you notice that amendments in a LoDA are not visible on the Amendment Manager tab, or if you know that amendments were drafted in a LoDA created at pre-introduction stage, you can use the following steps to Move the List and update all the amendments' metadata so they become associated with the published ‘As Introduced’ version.
On the Amendment Workspace tab, click the Actions menu next to your LoDA and select Move to a different stage
A modal will appear asking you to select a Stage and Bill version. Select the correct Stage and the ‘As Introduced (Commons)’ or ‘As Introduced (Lords)’ Bill version. Click Confirm.
