wrong succession of actions in published rule

Hi,

when configuring a new rule to fire a tracking request I set three actions:

1. Set Variables

2. Send Beacon

3. Clear Variables

After testing I see an Adobe Analytics request without any props or evars.

And when looking at the published rule it looks like:

1. Send Beacon

2. Set Variables

3. Clear Variables

How can I get this right?

Best,
Frank

We released a fix in our release this morning (2018-07-24).  In order to get things ordered correctly, you'll need to open your rule, make a change (you can change the order, then change it back to where it was, that counts), and save the rule.

We are working on an automated process that will fix this automatically for all affected rules, but that will probably not make it into a release until next week, so those negatively impacted can fix it manually now.

Technical details for those curious: under the hood, each action in a rule has an order.  There were some scenarios where the order was not being saved correctly.  Sometimes it didn't matter, and sometimes it caused your actions to appear in a different order than they were when you saved them (if you opened the rule again after save).  The fix waits for a rule to have a change, then when it is saved, it will normalize the order of all rule components, giving them each a new order value based on what you've specified in your rule.

thanks for your support

But this is not the case The rule uses the latest version, this is not only visible from the revision history but also by other changes in the rule, which are in effect and visible.

Still the beacon is send before the setting of the variables.

In rule configuration:

If you go to the publishing tab inside Launch and open up your library, is the published version of the rule the latest version? You can actually click on the rule's name inside the library and see the actual version that's being published by that library and see if it matches what you expect to be seeing.
