Needs More Info RoA Spotlight Tiers losing folder once the spotlight is over

[roxie]

Good Evening,

I have a concern about temporary folders in regards to Spotlight tournaments. I am unaware of all of the tiers but right now I can only speak on behalf of DPP Monotype. With the temporary folders, players (assuming they've had DPP Mono teams) before have to switch their teams (18 types in Monotype) from OU -> Monotype, and then when the month is over, it goes back to Monotype -> OU. I feel like it would be better for people seeking or wanting to try out the tier because teams can get lost in another there DPP OU folder. The tier overall has been supported since the SM and now SS Generations Hub. I am requesting for any RoA Spotlight tiers to remain permanently in the teambuilder~

They technically still exist in the teambuilder, they're just not selectable, and in the case of DPP Monotype I believe it's just removed from the builder entirely like pre-2016 VGC. In practice, they turn back to an ID or something most of the time, which you can see here;

I think what would be more effective is a multi-select option to mass-change formats or something. Not all RoA Spotlights work like this (eg. RBY UU is a fully-fledged challenge format so you wouldn't want that folder suddenly moving to OU).

What's not selectable about them?

In practice, they should work the same as any other format, other than that you can't create a new folder for them if you didn't have one before. But if you did have one before, it shouldn't disappear or anything.

In other words: This sounds like a bug, and if it is, it should be fixed. But first we need to know more about what's wrong here.
