If a user defines extra states for the ActionTrackerPlugin and then tries to change the status via the Ajax interface, the status gets corrupted.

I have defined (See bold red characters for the interessant part)    * Set ACTIONTRACKERPLUGIN_EXTRAS = |said,text,8|mgate,select,1,"M13","M12","M11","M10","M9","M8","M7","M6","M5","M4","M3","M2"|deliverable,text,30|state,select,1,"N/A","Not Planned","Planned","Assigned","Started","Ongoing","Reviewed","closed"|review,select,1,"No","N/A","FTR","Consensus"|evidence,text,50|

And uses this format to display actions defined: %ACTIONSEARCH{  topic="Item566" mgate="M7" format="| $edit | $deliverable | $who | $state | $due | $review | $evidence | $text | $said |" header="| Update | Deliverable | Assigned to | Status | Due date | Review | Evidence URL | Comments | SA2006
ID  |" orient="columns" }%

If I, in display mode, select a status and change it via the Ajax interface, the status defaults to my defined value "N/A".

Best regards

As documented, certain names are reserved words and cannot be used in EXTRAS. These are: closed, closer, created, creator, dollar, due, edit, format, header, late, n, nop, notify, percnt, quot, sort, state, text, topic, uid, web, who, within. This is a known limitation of the plugin.

Sorry for the slow response.
