Description

New user here. Deployed Mattermost on dedicated server (Esxi VM)

Summary While adding a new CARD on BOARD, Icons aren’t working properly. Only RANDOM icon is affected when clicking several times on the “random” button. Selecting a particular icon from available ones isn’t working.

Steps to reproduce Not sure if this issue is easy to reproduce or if other users met this issue. Search through Discussion forum didn’t yield any result.

Expected behavior Icons should update correctly in a snappy way…

Observed behavior From Console, an Error 500 appear each time we want to add/update icon.

If anyone could shed a light on why this is happening, I’d be greatly thankful.

Research direction
Investigate the API endpoint handling card icon updates. The error 500 suggests a server side issue, likely in the card icon controller or service. Check the server logs for stack traces and look at the database operations for icon storage. Review recent commits that may have introduced a regression. The issue reporter mentions a video, so attempt to reproduce the bug locally.
