Can you look at the underlying table, before and after?

bin/rails c
> ApiKey.all

How urgent is this to fix @supermathie? I’m unclear who this bug affects?

5

It’s likely not urgent to fix (I only came across it by accident), but it concern me that the codepath has an unintended side effect of modifying the API key used to access it.

6

Maybe @zogstrip can have a quick look here, my guess is that something about the restore process may be fussing with api keys post restore.

7

I don’t think it’s related to the restore process since @supermathie is just doing a backup :flushed:

But yeah, I’ll have a look.

I gave it a quick try since I was working on backups. I can’t reproduce it. I’m closing it for now.
