[bug] Blank tag in editor schedule (only some devrooms)

[cosenal]

I am editing the schedule, and noticed that talks from our track (Quantum Computing) are under a blank tag – see screenshot. Same for another track, which is still empty though.

I asked this on the devroom-managers mailing list and @kopasiak pointed out the following:

I think this can be related to the fact that something is wrong in
pretalx DB/code because when I was exporting submissions using a
script that worked in last year I noticed that some "tracks" are not
json objects as it used to be (i.e. {"en": "Python"}) but are stored
directly as strings aka Python. In case it helps this is a list of
devrooms that are returned as string instead of proper json objects:

Distributions
Low-level AI Engineering and Hacking
Modern Email
Open Source In The European Legislative Landscape and Beyond
Quantum Computing
Radio
Swift

Thanks for the report. This is a bug in the code importing the tracks from the proposals. It is probably solved as soon as the track object is saved once in pretalx. I'll do that for these tracks, but keep the issue open so it does not occur next year (until the import is adjusted).

The issue should no longer occur for this year.

@johanvdw I can confirm the room is now in the dropdown list, thanks! Also good idea on keeping this open to track a more long-term fix.
