A particular situation in CDOL, that of course propagates to the meetinghouse locator, where our unit shows up with the Branch President's "old" home phone number. He updated his member record years ago, and his home phone number was removed from his account (it's empty). However, up until today CDOL has apparently never updated and still showed the old home phone number in his CDOL data, which we assume is what the meetinghouse locator is pulling (whether it should pull the home or cellphone number is a separate issue, covered by a separate thread in the Forum!)
I suppose perhaps blanking out the home phone number didn't trigger an update in CDOL, but if the home phone number in the record had been updated with the cell phone number this might have triggered the update inside CDOL and then a subsequent update to the meetinghouse locator.
Alternatively, is CDOL operating completely separate from the member record? I'm leaning towards this, since in CDOL you can manually edit the home and cell phone numbers, which wouldn't make sense if they then get automatically overwritten by whatever is in the member record. It might be that when a leader is populated inside CDOL it's a one-time read from the member record, but then subsequently it can only be updated manually inside CDOL (i.e. no data transfer occurs when a member record is updated). If that's the case, then I'm assuming there's lots of Bishops out there who get new phone numbers, update their member record, and never realize there's an additional step needed.
Anyone have some guidance about this? Perhaps this is a unique case, or perhaps I'm thinking about things the wrong way...
