when i click "Merge Duplicate In", there isn't any search option.
I also tried inputting a text or task ID into the input box, but it does not have any drop down list like other entries. Then, i enter in the taskID such as T23, then i press the blue "Merge Task". but nothing happen.
Below here is what i see in the input box when i typed the first few letter of the task name: http://snag.gy/ycs7z.jpg

I am using Phabricator version 20150929

I tried this function in phabricator, and i selected all task. I noticed the box generates all the task names.
The one i have just stays as an empty box. What should i do here?

It's the input at the top of the form. It filter's based on what the select field next to it states.

It's not a typeahead. Matches will appear below as you type.

then i press the blue "Merge Task". but nothing happen.

You have to click "select" next to the task first, before the merge button.

This isn't a version of Phabricator we produce. Is this Bitnami, or some other packaged install? If so, please contact them for support. The upstream only supports installs based on our installation guides.

yes, this is a bitnami version.
Got it, i guess this is cause by installation issues?
i was going to show another image of the DOM Elements. i noticed the webpage has autoid, but mine doesn't.

okay, i will get some help.
Thanks!

Feel free to test a few fake tasks here.

Or a test instance on http://phacility.com/ if you want privacy.

Thanks chad!
Hope I can solve the bitnami version, else i'll try to self install and port over the db. Hopefully, not a big task.

chad, i'm wondering. eventhough i am using a packaged install, if i were to perform a upgrade as such, wouldn't it actually update all the files from the phabricator repository?

$ cd <installdir>/apps/phabricator/htdocs
$ git pull
$ <installdir>/apps/phabricator/htdocs/bin/storage upgrade

i also wonder, is it possible that someone can lead me, where in the source code does this querying of the task in manifest merged in function?

It's likely easier to just install from source from our guide. We don't have much insight into how these packages are built, but there is more going on than just pulling from source.

sounds great.
I am creating a new copy of ubuntu and installing phab through the script now. Is there any tutorials that show i can migrate my current phab db to the new one?

chad, i have reinstall a fresh copy. and i still have the same results.
The box still says no result.

@chad,

I tried the following: http://192.168.184.131/search/select/TASK/merge/
& it returns with: for (;;);{"error":null,"payload":[]}

I tried entering letter "T" or keep it blank into the ".phabricator-object-selector-search-text input", no results shown. But if i enter T1, it will show T1 task, if i enter T2, it will show T2 task.

At the same token, i also tried the query: Advanced Search functions,
Document Types: Manifest Tasks
Document Status: Open

It returns with : No results.

This is correct.

At the same token, i also tried the query: Advanced Search functions, Document Types: Manifest Tasks Document Status: Open It returns with : No results.

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't reproduce any issues here, and we have no other reports. Can you reproduce the issue on this server?

I don't have any other things to ask you to try. Something is wrong with how Phabricator is either being operated or installed. I can't guess which. If you can provide a clear set of steps to reproduce the issue with, please file a full task. But we need to be able to reproduce the issue to help you further.

You can also test a private install on http://phacility.com at no cost.
