Reuse Deleted Monitor IDs

[marklg]

When I create a new monitor and manually select a deleted monitor ID, it appears to save (twice) but it does not show up. What am I doing wrong?

I just cloned one of mine in 1.37.50~20240208144613-jammy, and it showed up at the bottom of my console...

It does if you leave the ID as automatic. It picks the next available ID and it goes at the bottom. I chose the ID manually, one that was deleted. It did not show up.

No, my next was 25. I selected 12 and it came up 12 at the bottom.

Ah -

But yes, there is some messiness there. I can only reuse ones suggested below the ID field, and apparently only once, even after a reboot.

There was a temporary browser problem, but I think that will resolve when this is fixed.

I confirm this problem.

We don't actually delete monitors anymore. We just mark them deleted. SO it may have silently failed because there is still a record at that id. This is why we list some available ids in the ui

In the ID, I can pick any ID. My use case is I replaced my camera #1 that had issues with another that is the same as a later ID camera and I want the new Camera #1 to be listed first. So, I cloned a later ID and want it to replace #1. It does seem that #1 has been edited, as if I do the following, I can get the result I want.

I select the check box for another monitor, and select Clone.
I manually choose ID #1. Note, all IDs can be chosen, not just the deleted or unused ones.
I select Save and it does appear to save that data in ID #1. It stays on the editing screen and I select Save again. It silently fails and there is an error in the log that the ID was used.
I then manually enter this in the location bar: https://<IP Address>/zm/index.php?view=monitor&mid=1
It shows #1, saying it is deleted, and allows me to say undelete. I undelete and the monitor with new data is there.

OK, marklg!
I see that works. I was mislead because I recently had to rebuild my 1.37, and the monitor IDs I used were actually empty at first, as listed below the ID field.
Good to know.
