Playlist Auto Populate is Corrupting Playlist

I am setting up a playlist based on a Year so I will use 1996 for my example in this situation.

When I create the new playlist for 1996 I switch on auto populate and set it to ''Release Date - Date (Between) - 01/01/1996 AND 12/31/1996'' and the games populate with no issue, I also tick the box to attach to the "Years" Playlist Catagory and click ok...at this point all seems fine and Working correctly.

I then close and reopen Launchbox and the Years Platform Catagory is is showing as empty but when I check my Playlists the 1996 Playlist is there and set up correctly its just not showing in the Years Catagory anymore, even when I edit the 1996 playlist it makes no difference as its like its corrupted and I have to delete the Playlist and make it again to be able to get it working again.

The only way I have managed to get past this is to set the auto populate up and when the games show in the list disable auto populate and then click ok to the playlist because if I leave auto populate ticked it just corrupts the playlist when i close Launchbox and removes it from the selected Playlist Catagory.

Sorry for the long description I just wanted to make sure I explained this correctly to see if anyone else is having this issue or its just me as this sounds like a bug to me

I tried to follow your steps to see if I can replicate the issue but I could not. At least I am hoping I did it how you did based on your description. The playlist does not corrupt. I deleted the set-up and redid it 3 times and the playlist stays as it should. Below are pics how I set it up. Is this how you have yours?

Thanks for testing this for me @Retro808, this is exactly how I have set it up except for my catagory is call Years not Years Playlist but that shouldn't cause a problem. From there for some reason when I close and reopen Launchbox it removes itself from the category.

At least I know now that this is an issue on my end so I will give this another try today :)

Thanks again for testing this for me ;)
