ATTN: MARK AND ADAM: BUG: Advanced Prioritization does not work i.e. silliness in impementation

I am trying to set the NIV as the Bible of choice for the South Asia Commentary. I cannot get the advanced prioritization to work ... because I can't even get it to save. This is an important function for me especially since I am trying to rebuild my prioritizations.

EDIT: The problem is that the advanced prioritization depends upon a common index. Bible (NIV) does not equal Bible so it is not applied or saved. Unfortunately, even though the default Bible for South Asia Commentary and Africa Bible Commentary is NIV, the index is Bible not Bible (NIV) so they can not be made to reference the intended Bible. Back in the day when advanced prioritization actually worked, all the Bible verse mappings were treated as a datatype match for Advanced prioritization. Please return to this behavior ASAP or reindex all commentaries to point to the correct mappings for the Bible(s) referenced.

I am trying to set the NIV as the Bible of choice for the South Asia Commentary. I cannot get the advanced prioritization to work ... because I can't even get it to save. Is this me, the application, or both that are being uncooperative on what should be a simple task?

There must be a bug, for although I have everything set correctly, Logos stubbornly selects my top prioritized Bible as its reference.[^o)]

Edit:I just noticed this is the Beta forum. I'm on the stable version. Sorry for the over sight.

I tried it on mine (10.1.0.0041, Windows 11) the same way you mentioned (with the same resources) and it works for me. It saves and applies the NIV as the Bible of choice. I only have NIV prioritized for one other study bible though, so idk if that makes a difference.

Just as a heads up Amodeo, if you have any Bible placed above the SAC it will prioritize that, so for what you need, you'd have to place your SAC advanced prioritization as the (presumably) first entry on the priority list (above your "top Bible)

Frank, Thanks for your suggestion, but I experimented with just this thought in mind and still it failed to behave properly on my Mac, I even powered on and off to no avail.

Sorry to hear that Amodeo. Hopefully it gets patched soon

I don't have the South Asia Commentary, but I can't reproduce this problem with other resources. Can you send a screenshot of your prioritization?

My initial test which does not work.

Close and reopen application, the prioritization disappears:

To show it fails on every resource, I change the Africa case to the Douay-Rheims translation

I have the South Asia Bible Commentary, so I tried this. Usually I have ESV-CE prioritized first, I verified that with the commentary. Then I added NIV with SABC using Advanced resources and put it top of my Prioritize list, then tested - it works fine. I also closed/reopened the app and the advanced prioritization entry is still there. I am on Verbum/Mac, I assume MJ is on Windows? It's either a version difference or something got corrupted; hope this helps narrow it a little.

I did rebuild my indexes which did not help but I have not tried to force a rebuild of the verse mapping.

Whatever the problem was, installing the new beta fixed it for me. The prioritization that was disappearing on close-reopen, reappeared for all the multiple times I had tried. This screen shot is after I removed some of the duplicates.
