This happened both on Wriothesley and Neuvillette. When I went to the Character screen to add Wriothesley to my characters, it reset every single character constellation I had recorded except for Wriothesley who was set to C0. This same thing happened when I added Neuvillette on release night. I know it's specifically the new characters because I also added Dehya to my list and nothing happened, but when I added Wriothesley it reset.
#Character constellation data gets reset upon adding the newest unit

so then how do i fix it?
refreshing the tab and closing the window didnt do anything
the json file also says that i dont own the units

read the issue I linked, it describes the bug.
it should not alter your save though, unless you accidentally "helped it" somehow.
you can try opening an incognito page, connecting googld drive there, and syncing it, to see if it's in fact bad.
if however, it appears your save got damaged, you can try following steps I casually discussed with someone in https://discord.com/channels/820601523125747712/1162825079835611176

I have several copies of all my data before and after wishing today so it would be a process of manually combining the wish and Constellation data if I lost something, more of an annoyance than anything
I just synced data with Google and yeah constellations are still gone
I can't necessarily fix it entirely because both Neuvillette and Wrio cause it to clear right now so I can't add both
midnight anvil
I have several copies
if only everyone thought alike
dang, annoying indeed. I guess you might need to wait until the issue is resolved... hopefully in under 6 months, so that you can still autosync
latent delta
Oh I can't autosync
Mine is like super fucked up and I have to manually input every wish otherwise it deletes like 700 pulls and sets a bunch of my pities to 1
midnight anvil
how long it's been like this?
latent delta
A while ago I accidentally cleared browsing data without backing up paimon but I had screenshots and dates of my 5 star pulls older than 6 months so I manually added them but not the pulls to get up to them so it looks like I got 70+ pity pulls in a single wish
latent delta
how long it's been like this?
Around 2 years now
midnight anvil
damn.
latent delta
I've asked about it multiple times suggested that pity and wish total gets counted by the existing number not recounted by number of recorded wishes but it was never fixed
midnight anvil
you could technically manually reconstruct the JSON, to emulate the wishes the same way the site would save them.
this is how I replaced about 50-60 pulls spanning few months, and it autosyncs just fine.
latent delta
Hmm interesting
That might be annoying considering just how many I'm missing but I'll look into it
midnight anvil
just get a good editor, e.g. Notepad++ with JSON Tools plugin
and the rest is plain text, just structured. there are some timestamps you may need to alter, and generally all the data you input manually is already there - just convince the site that it was itself that put it there.
latent delta
I'll look into it later I got an exam in 45 minutes
latent delta
after some experimenting i dont have to edit the json itself for the wish count, on the website i can add a 3 star and change the date and it functions the same
the problem is that that will take probably even longer since you need to edit the date of every 3 star and select a 3 star to save it
midnight anvil
I get it, though my point was to literally make it look like the website produced the JSON, as there's countless threads around how things don't work right after the manual edits.
latent delta
gotcha
i am sad that i forever lost a lot of my 4 star history
i tallied up my 4 star cons + weapons and ive pulled 480 4 stars but only 312 are accounted for
midnight anvil
there's always this https://discord.com/channels/820601523125747712/1162825079835611176
google drive stores revisions of the files
latent delta
ill check it out but i dont remember how long ive had my google drive linked
pretty sure i only linked it after accidentally deleting some data
midnight anvil
sure, you just need a revision from any time your drive was connected, and before the constellation bug issue
latent delta
after not understanding anything in inspect (very code illiterate lol) i realized that i already do have a json from before the constellation bug
i have my pre-Wrio json and post-Wrio json. pre-Wrio has correct cons but no wish data, post-Wrio json has correct wish data but incorrect constellations
midnight anvil
you can probably manually merge them in a good notepad like notepad++ with JSON view plugin, with a side-by-side view
the JSON structure is very literal, and after a while it's easy to get used to
latent delta
23761 lines... oh boy
midnight anvil
yeah but it's doable. you can also just cut out the part you wanna compare, and just deal with that part, it'll be a lot less lines
latent delta
ill mess around with this and get back to you if i fix it
yup i got it
that was very quick
ok yeah i understand this its very simple
midnight anvil
nice! grats

Can someone give me an ELI5 way to restore this? I'm incredibly pissed off right now that this has happened to me a second time and after manually re-inputting all my characters I'm not interested in doing it again if I can avoid it, but my brain melts looking at the discussion posts of this.
midnight anvil
afraid an ELI5 for that does not exist, or would otherwise take way too long
basically use some editor that can format JSON to a readable form, and then keep reading it over and over, and eventually it should start making sense
runic copper
Ugh. So no way to find an restore an older JSON from google?
latent delta
IVE DONE IT
i have created an accurate json file with both all recorded constellations and wish history that DOESNT get fucked over by auto-import
it only took half my afternoon
i did notice some discrepancies when checking every single pull ive ever done though
what i thought was a 36 pity WGS was actually 50 pity because it had been more than 6 months since i had pulled on the weapon banner
and when i thought i got Haran at 52 it was actually at 48
midnight anvil
nice, grats!
midnight anvil
Ugh. So no way to find an restore an older JSON from google?
there is a way, google keeps versions https://discord.com/channels/820601523125747712/1162825079835611176

Ugh! It happens with Kirara too! Why are there all these land mines?!
Kirara, Neuvillette, and Wriothesley seem to all do it because they don't even have placeholder TBD builds?
midnight anvil
correct
Hopefully you can add some pressure by commenting on it on https://github.com/MadeBaruna/paimon-moe/issues/466
