Hi Morten,

Yes, I think it only seems to occur with users which have "many" (i.e over
a thousand) assigned orgunits, but not 100% sure about this. However, I can
confirm that it does happen under certain circumstances which are not
always clear exactly what they are. However. I was able to reproduce it
once, and the result was that ALL orgunit assignments were lost completely.

Agree this is an unusual use case but it arises because specific users need
to be able to enter data into specific orgunits which are spread across
many branches of the hierarchy. An easier solution would be to have an
assignment between orgunit groups and users, which would sort of
automatically assign orgunits to a user based on the assignment of an
orgunit group to that user.


Regards,
Jason
