Bug - Calling IncrementLimitedEditionItemAvailability doesn't update the Dashboard

In relation to: https://community.playfab.com/questions/28757/is-there-a-way-to-increment-limited-edition-on-ite.html

If I call IncrementLimitedEditionItemAvailability, the Dashboard UI doesn't seem to update unless I use the dashboard to increase by filling in "Add this many items" and saving.

It also doesn't update the internal count correctly. If I'm using the limited item in a drop, the drop seems to fail the first time, returning no items. Then calling again it'll return one item, then fail again, then return an item. Something weird going on :(

I guess that there are multiple items in your droptable, If so, only the limited item generates from droptable and the LimitedEdition of it has touched the upper limit, playfab willreturn the fail,otherwise it will return another item. You can try again to verify this.

This should be a display issue in GameManager, we have informed the related team, thank you for your feedback.

Actually, I have have further information @Hernando

To reproduce:

Ensure there are no instances left (exhausted).

Call IncrementLimitedEditionItemAvailability twice to ensure there are now 2 in reserve.

Now call GrantItemsToCharacter.

The first call will succeed.

Do the call again, it will fail.

Do a third call, it will succeed.

If you repeat this process but call IncrementLimitedEditionItemAvailability x 3 or x 4 you can't reproduce.


It's only when there are x 2 put in reserve!


I can reproduce it every time.

Hmm okay. I think the problem is there is a delay and I'm checking too soon!

But the problem still exists that the UI doesn't update in GameManager
