What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open up Rarity's UI and go to the Custom tab.
2. Add a custom item as an example I will use the Judgement Belt (16952) that drops from Vaelastrasz (13020) with the following attributes:

• Method of Obtaining:
  • Drops from a Boss Requiring a Group
• Type of Item:
  • Toy or Item
• Toggles:
  • Track This
  • Announce
• Attempts:
  • 1
• Chance:
  • 4

After filling in all the values, confirming them with enter when needed, the item in the list is still "unlinked" or ... not blue? It doesn't feel like my values were applied, if you will.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I was expecting to see the item being added to the list, to be like the other items in my list, blue. Instead the item in the list was yellow (which might just be because I'm using ElvUI & BenikUI) or white(as I'm guessing a non-skinned vanilla UI might color it), in other words "unlinked" and blank. The only way I can make it sort of apply my data entry, is to make a dummy item in the list by making a new item, calling it any random name and hitting enter. This updates the list, making my previous item added, with all the data. After the item gets updated, I can delete the dummy list item.

What version of the product are you using?

r474

Do you have an error log of what happened?

No, as it does not seem to produce any script errors.

Please provide any additional information below.

Try reloading your UI. When an item in the list isn't an item link, it means the server did not immediately return information for your item. This is normal and is the way World of Warcraft works. Once your computer's item cache has been updated with the information, the link will appear the next time you reload your UI. There is nothing Rarity can do about how this works.

If reloading your UI didn't work, and you're 100% sure the item ID you entered is correct and still exists in-game, let me know.

Edit 1: The text is not yellow or orange in BenikUI, it's plain white. Also, the item color i'm looking for is not blue, as the item is an epic and not rare, the color should be purple. My mistake. The issue still stands however, the item does not update it's list appearance unless I create a dummy item after filling in an item's attributes. It's an extra unnecessary step that I don't think is necessary.

Reloading your UI should also make the link appear.

@Allara: Go

This time, same scenario, instead I am trying with Judgement Spaulders (16953) dropping from Chromaggus (14020).

• Name:
  • Judgement Spaulders

List item is yellow.

• Method of Obtaining:
  • Drops from a Boss Requiring a Group
• Item ID
  • 16953

List item is white

• NPCs
  • 14020
• Type of Item:
  • Toy or Item
• Toggles:
  • Track This
  • Announce
• Attempts:
  • 1
• Chance:
  • 4

Entry looks ok, still white, but pressing Okay to close the UI to perform a reloadui.

Reloading UI

Opening up rarity with /rarity

Going to custom tab, item is now purple.

Thanks Allara! ^-^
