Bug: Editing Monograph Reading Plans Fails

Rick

I'm trying to make a reading plan for a monograph. I am trying to make the plan to read only on certain days. This bug appears to happen in all monographs. I am attaching a video.

Steps:

1. Start creating a reading plan in a monograph.

2. Click "At Your Own Pace" to change the options and try to select what days you want.

3. When trying to select what days you want, the screen goes blank.

Thanks.

I have attempted to duplicate your problem and I am not able to. But I do see that all days are not listed. Everything below Wednesday is not listed.

In Christ,

Jim

Thanks James. That’s weird. My Symptoms happen on two different computers (Both Mac). I will try my Windows laptop to see how that works.

EDIT: I just checked my Windows 10 laptop and got the same result as with my Mac's.

That's odd, because my Windows PC, has a different issue. Maybe someone else could weigh in here.

Yes, I am hoping we will get an acknowledgement that something is going wrong from Logos.

I can reproduce. The work around is to start a new Plan from the Documents menu

Thank you for confirming. Unfortunately, creating a reading plan through the documents menu for a monograph doesn't divide the readings by chapters like the other method does. Another method for monographs is to right click on their tile in the library, but that fails too. In the sample picture that I posted below, you will notice that the readings automatically get divided by the chapters. I should then be able to select a couple of days per week to read it on. As far as I can tell, the documents menu doesn't do this. According to MP Seminars, the way to get a monograph to divide by chapters, you either do it the way I tried or through the library right click. Neither of which works. I'm guessing there might be a way to go in and manually do this, but it should be simple and the simple way isn't working, unfortunately.

Bump in hopes of getting Logos’ attention. To me, this is a pretty big bug.

I used to weigh in on these discussions some time ago.

I think that reading plans should be a major selling point for Logos but after attempting to use them for some monographs I have simply given up.

It would be good if Logos refocused some of the effort it expends on esoteric stuff and looked to the needs of the ordinary reader.

Monographs should be able to be 'planned' to provide readings or either

1. So many words.
2. So many Chapters (modified to consider item1)
3. So many Heading Contents (modified to consider item 1)
4. So many Paragraphs (modified to consider item 1)

I agree. Reading plans should be more doable. Since the tool is broken now, you can't even plan them for chapters.
