Not a bug vB 3.8 post edit history

[beerForo]

Affected version

2.1

The importer says it imports edit history. But after the import if I find a post that's edited and click History you get:

Oops! We ran into some problems.
This content edit history has been removed.

But my import said it brought it over: Edit history 96,042 (3.65 minutes)

But

In the new database there are only 5 entries:

60261
60262
60623
60264
60265

I did not retain IDs and these do not start at 1. Some issue here.

The edit_history table gets wiped our randomly and it may not be the importer, it may be a general bug. Ticket here: XF-3026533A

Basically after import when you are using your site, the table will just get wiped out somehow. Sometimes it leaves 2 entries, sometimes 0, etc., and it will start counting from there, but it takes out the 60k!

Members should check their tables, especially if they imported. You may have a couple pages but be missing thousands. Quirky bug. Hope this can be addressed. Thanks!

Hello, the issue was it was set to prune after 60 days. Perhaps the default should be zero so nobody runs into this (seems odd to import a ton of data just to have it pruned minuets later), Jon of XF helped me find it. thanks!
