**Issue: **

DataSet or Project are not saving against a user even if they are selected

![image](media://7a1fb2b6-7a83-49e5-90ff-5b3cac5ae330)


**Cause:**

Either the Projects or DataSets are missing sort order

OR There are duplicate ProjectID or duplicate SortOder

**Resolution: ** 

Check the SortOder or ProjectID with the below query

```sql
select * from tblsysproject

select * from tblSYSDataSet

select * from tblsysobject
where type = 'project'
```

Update the SortOder or ProjectID to be unique

> ⚠️ Before any change is made to a user database (or system), maxgeo recommends competent staff should follow all standard database change management practices and never make untested changes to a production database.  
> ⚠️ Change, test and document all modifications on a test copy of your database to ensure results are as expected before implementing them on your live database. Always ensure a full backup is available in case rollback is required and follow all company change management procedures and practices.
