R42.8-R42.21 - Tags are deleted after One Step Update - might be Mobile SYNC related.

rjshupehelp

All my tags are being erased by the One Step Update.

Procedure to replicate:
1. Install new update
2. Turn on Update Bills
3. Run One Step Update
4. Tags are gone

If I restore a backup the tags show up again. But they are erased by One Step Update

I am running R42.8, but am unable to replicate what you are seeing.  That is, I checked tags via the tools menu and all seems fine to me.

Kristie Smith

My tags are missing as well..

Ps56k2

What do you see for .... Tools --> Tag List

Are they actually missing from the Tag List - or just not showing in a Register, or a specific Report or ???

Jim_Harman

Like @Bob_L I am running R42.8 but I do not see any issues with Tags. Please describe the problem in more detail:

-- Please go to Help > About Quicken and let us know what edition and version of Quicken you are running. Note that the Starter Edition does not support Tags in reports.
-- If you go to Tools > Tag list, are the Tags present and the Hidden boxes not checked?
-- Are the Tags missing from transactions that are already in your register?
-- Are the Tags present in your registers but missing from reports?
-- Are you not able to add tags to new transactions?
-- Something different, or a combination of these?

I too lost tags on transactions after update to 42.8. Not sure if they were lost when program updated or after running One Step Update. Some tags had been deleted from the tag list.

Reloaded backup file and ran One Step Update a couple of times. Tags seem to be OK now.

-- Please go to Help > About Quicken and let us know what edition and version of Quicken you are running. Version 42.8 Deluxe Edition
-- If you go to Tools > Tag list, are the Tags present and the Hidden boxes not checked? One Tag is missing. The other Tags are present and Hidden boxes are not checked
-- Are the Tags missing from transactions that are already in your register? Yes, they are ALL gone
-- Are the Tags present in your registers but missing from reports? They are not present. My reports that depend on tags no longer work correctly.
-- Are you not able to add tags to new transactions? I can add tags to new transactions
-- Something different, or a combination of these? Not all One Step Updates cause the problem to occur. The problem occurs when I update certain accounts (e.g. Citi Cards) and not others.

rjshupehelp

Additional information -
Problem is reproducible. I have reloaded from backup and replicated the issue multiple times
Updating Synchrony Bank Credit Cards also causes the problem to occur.

Bob_L

@rjshupehelp. Are you running quicken mobile or web?

rjshupehelp

@Bob_L I strictly run Quicken on my laptop with Windows 10 Home

I am also having this problem with Quicken subscription, latest update. After the update, ran one-step update, all tags disappeared from register. After restoring from back-up, tags were restored. Then when synced to Quicken cloud, they disappeared again.

douglas doan

All tags disappeared.

Jim_Harman

This sounds like a serious problem but it is apparently only affecting a limited number of users.

I recommend that everyone who is experiencing this problem report it via Help > Report a Problem and reference this discussion in the description. You will not get a response, but it may help the Quicken folks see how widespread it is and figure out what is going on.

You should also follow the link at Help > Contact Support and speak to a Support agent. Make sure the agent understands the problem. Get a ticket number for future reference.

Hopefully a Moderator will follow up in this discussion with an acknowledgement.

Doug Osborne

Confirmed this error as reported above. It's a very, very time consuming fix. Problem reported to Quicken.

chenfy71

Having this problem as well. Data for at least one specific tag for the entire file wiped out. Keep restoring backup and issue reproduced after One Step Update.

Smokeyham

Hi,

I'm running Quicken Deluxe on Windows 10. When I sync to the cloud I lose the tags that I have entered for all of my transactions.

I have tried resetting my cloud data. Any other suggestions?

Smokeyham

I am also having the same problem. Tags are disappearing from my transactions when I do a 1-step update. I have tried resetting my cloud data, but that has not helped.

chenfy71

Its after this recent update that may be causing the issue. I have attempted to restore backup because I lost all the tags. Anytime I attempt a one step update, the tags disappear.

rjshupehelp

I replicated the problem with Maria @ Quicken today. She had me run a Validate and Repair on my original file (before the tags were erased), then One Step Update. That didn't help, the tags were erased again, so she assigned Ticket #9595201. I suggest we all reference that ticket going forward with Quicken Support.

[Deleted User]

@chenfy71 - just curious, if you were to manually put back the tags, do they still disappear when you do a one step update?

chenfy71

When I import data manually without going through one step update, tags remain intact.

Smokeyham

@Damian - I have restored from a backup and then try syncing again, with the same results, i.e. I lose the tags that I have applied to my entries.

@rjshupehelp - Thanks for doing that and for providing us with the ticket number.

Very annoying! For now I won't do a one-step update/sync but will just use my Windows version of Quicken since Tags are important for me. Hopefully this will be resolved soon as I know I, like many others, like to record expenses on our phones as we incur them and then to upload them once we have access to a computer.

Just spent time on the phone with Quicken support and appear to have resolved the issue. Here are the steps that were suggested:

1. Go to File/Copy or Backup - Create a Complete Backup
2. In the new file open the register(s) for the financial institution(s) that you have linked.
3. Click on gear wheel in the top right of the register.
4. If the option to update the connection using the lightning bolt symbol is available then reconnect to the financial institution using that. -- Note - If there is not a problem with the connection then this option may not be available, so check each financial institution's register to see if the choice is available.

Hopefully this helps. The helpdesk staff cautioned that this may not be the same problem for everyone, but it is a place to start.

Just a quick update that the solution did not "hold" and I am now back to losing tags when I do one-step updates.

If anyone does find a solution it would be great to hear about it!

Tags are mssing as well. An entire year of Citicard transactions!

Smokeyham

I just spent 1-1/2 hours with an agent from Quicken. We seemed to have narrowed the problem to when an update is done with Quicken Mobile and Web. Initially the thinking was that the problem was caused by updating with financial institution(s).

I have disconnected from mobile and web so that my tags don't disappear and the agent has flagged the issue for further review.

I can still get updates from my financial institutions without losing my tags.

I am curious if others are having the same experience?
