Filters created in a folder link are not visible after page refresh

Issue/Introduction

If you create a filter in a folder link, the filter will be created, and show up, but if you refresh the page it will not be there anymore.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Settings -> All Settings -> Notification Server -> Console Settings -> Views -> Create a new view

2. On the Edit View page -> Tree drop-down -> select Resources

3. Add the "Filters" folder (or any other folder inside) to the view contents and click OK to save the view

4. Settings -> All Settings -> Notification Server -> Console Settings -> Menus

5. Add a new menu -> in the show option select view and then specify the view created in the step 3 -> Save changes

6. Click on the top menu created in previous step to open up the view

7. In the view, right click on the "Filters" folder (shortcut) and create a new filter. You should see it in the tree until you refresh the page.

Right after you create a new filter, you should see the following warning in the logs:

Error moving Item guid 5deb0546-dd54-4b46-8eeb-795e016356d9 to folder guid 64604304-5982-41b3-a9ec-c4b9fe5d2d00. Folder does not exist.

8. Refresh the page, now you shouldn't see the filter created in previous step. The issue is reproducible only if you create a filter in the root folder (shortcut).

Resolution

This issue is already fixed in 7.6 HF1. As a workaround, in the product versions prior to 7.6 HF1 you can use the options below:

Workaround 1: If it's required to create filters in a custom view, filters can be created either inside existing sub folders or a new sub folder can be created in the root folder (shortcut).

Workaround 2: Filters can be created in "Manage -> Filters" and there shouldn't be any issue to see them in a custom view.
