When you initially navigate to one of our groups, you get an assignment count of 50:
Click through to see what’s assigned, and the number adjusts to a lower number:
But sum the individual assignments & you get back to the original number:
Now, if I navigate back to the default group page, the count is updated to 30 - for a while. Attend a meeting & then go back to the group page and it all starts again at 50. In the words of one of our staff users:

Ping…
This is still happening, only now the numbers are 56 and 31

This is still happening.
When I first go to the group, 44:
Okay, let’s see the assigned threads, 38:
But no, it does actually add up to 44, despite the big, bold ‘38’ at the top:

Thanks @ganncamp, I can reproduce this easily internally as well. We will look into fixing the issue in the next few weeks.

I did a quick repro of sorts which can probably help solve the issue
1. create `authors`
2. Topic A, assign steaky.
3. Topic B, assign omaoma.
4. Reply in topic B, assign chi.west to the post.
The highlighted “Assigned (2)” goes briefly from “Assigned (3)” then back to “Assigned (2)”. I think it’s fighting itself 😮💨
I think we can go about this based on “total number of assignments” rather than “how many topics were assigned”.
Let’s see if I can get this in…

I’ve got one fix in regarding the number in the nav. The PR description shares the scenario
> John can be assigned to topic\_id: 1, and Jane can be assigned to a post within topic\_id: 1. This will result in 1 assignment rather than 2.

This just got merged so I’ll give this a few days to see how we’re doing.

I’m still seeing this bad behavior:
Initial count: 63. Clicking on ‘Assigned’ changes it to 30, but the actual total is 63

Hi G Ann,
The site has been deployed so the fix should now be in place. Please let us know whether or not that resolves the issue for you.

Thanks!
It’s better, but still not quite right:
And in case it helps, I think the one-off is probably the one assigned to the group itself:

Gotcha. This surely helps. Stay tuned for a fix.
