[OSM-talk] JOSM: tag-renaming for multiple nodes/ways "broken"

[Stefan Neufeind]

Hi,

in the past I'm quite sure that e.g. in case multiple nodes had tags 
"amenityyy" (with spelling-error) you could simply select them all at 
one and rename to "amenity". JOSM showed the values as "<different>" 
during editing, but surely kept the original values after clicking okay.

However that is not the case anymore. You get <different> when editing, 
and the individual values are removed from all nodes, thus resulting in 
"<different>" being the new value. That effectively destroys data in the 
database :-(

Not sure how many data is already affected.

Maybe somebody knows what caused this and could come up with a quick-fix?


Regards,
  Stefan
