Hello Devs and good morning/afternoon wherever you might be,

I just checked out version 2.21 on the apps/demo site and found that the
category combination sharing reset bug persists. I've paired down the steps
to reproduce quite a bit so you can check it out for yourself with just a
few taps and clicks:

1. Edit the sharing settings of an existing cat combo by adding a new group.
2. Edit the sharing setting in the traditional sense (I usually add a
letter to the name just for testing)
3. Observe that the sharing settings from step one have been removed.

1. Added Kenya staff

2. (I added "test_" to the beginning of the name)

3. Observe that Kenya staff have been removed.

Let me know if you need any more specifics. The problem is most confusing
for private users editing private Cat Combos. If they are not the creator,
as soon as they make a chance they lose the ability to edit the cat combo
and it disappears.

Cheers!
