After archiving a Phabricator project, all future edits to it generate an extra "[username] set this project's color to Red" entry in the project's history
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Upstream bug report: https://we.phorge.it/T15236

Steps to replicate the issue

  1. Create a Phabricator project.
  2. Archive that project.
  3. After archiving it, make multiple separate edits to the project (and/or just open the 'edit details' window & click 'save changes' without modifying anything).

What happens?
Every time you edit the project after archiving it, a new "[username] set this project's color to Red" event is generated & appears in the project's history.

What should have happened instead?
As the project's color hasn't changed since the project was archived, these extra project-history events shoudn't be generated.

Aklapper changed the task status from In Progress to Stalled.Sep 5 2025, 9:06 AM
Aklapper moved this task from Upstreamed to Solved upstream on the Phabricator (Upstream) board.

Fixed in upstream: https://we.phorge.it/rPad057da019ecc57c73ceec3cc58eba4bfb606d5a; setting stalled status due to subtask.

This issue should now be fixed on phabricator.wikimedia.org after today's software deployment in T404134.
