The bug

All my photos are on an external library. When I try adding information on the description in a photo or video, I can type into the field, but then I click away and it says 'Asset description has been updated' and the information I've typed blanks out.

I couldn't find anything in the docs (or issues in github) that says anything about whether assets on external libraries can have descriptions (would love this to work).

@haldi4803 commented on GitHub (Apr 12, 2024):

Same here, thought it was a mobile issue first cuz i tried on my phone.
But that's actually because the "comments" are saved inside the Fotos itself.

We're mounting the Fotos as Read Only
- q_Photos:/mnt/media/photos:ro
therefore it cannot save the comment in the Foto.

BUT while we're at it...
I changed the Description on the Web.
Opened the app... no Update... tried reopening the app/ the foto, no changes.
Only when i tried to change the description on the phone to something else it updated it to the correct one set on the web.

EDIT:
Ahhh i see, thats an issue of Local Caching of the App!
When you change ANY description it only updates it server side. You need to manually refresh the app by pulling down in the Photos Tab to update all descriptions.

BTW; this should give an error message "no permission to change file" instead of just 'Asset description has been updated' but as this is an external Library only issue i see where it's coming from.

I still consider this a bug. At least changes made in the same app should also be saved to the local cache. I created a new issue for it: #10551
