Im Having the same Bug 2/3 blacksmith slots and can't research a new trait. Tried the scrip and it doesn't work too

Just to pop this up, todays maintenance did not fix this problem.

I've been getting these off and on on all of my crafts, it's driving me nuts.

I have 2/3 clothing and can't start new research.

I've restarted the game and problem solved, now 3/3 displayed.

I noticed this bug (or something similar?) on a character last night and again this morning on another. I've been keeping track of all my timed research outside of the game and discovered that between the two characters, three of my research pieces in the equipment crafts were no longer active or showing that they had even been started at all. After acquiring a new piece to restart the same research, it showed up 3/3 at the workbench.

Edit: I have 3/3 for all crafts showing again on one character. It's reverted to 2/3 on the other but a different piece than the one from last night is bugged instead. I've been researching the 8th and 9th traits on a light armor hat, sash and medium boots. Last night the bench was showing me 2/3 and the light hat trait that is supposed to have 20+ days left isn't even showing as being started yet. After this morning's update and a restart it was back again but still at 2/3. Now it's showing that the sash trait isn't active anymore and appears as though I never started it even though I know I'm just over two weeks into that research. Sorry if this is confusing, it barely makes any sense to me.

Edit 2: The clothing research is 3/3 back to normal, didn't change anything just logged on, played for a bit and checked after. Of course now the woodworking is messed up again back to 2/3. I had the nirnhoned trait for bows going that was set to expire tomorrow after 21 days and is now showing as "Unknown". Last night it was the nirnhoned shield trait that was bugged that led me to waste a fortified nirncrux before I realized what was even happening.

i cant research anything on any of my characters. even my new one, not showing any items to research when I am at crafting stations. I can refine, deconstruct create and improve but not research.

To clarify the problem (at least for jewelry), it seems that the UI for the crafting station is sometimes incorrectly showing that a research slot is free. I started a 12 hour jewelry research on one toon last night, signed in at 8am the next morning and it appeared to have completed (two hours early). (I got the "no Research Slots Available" message when trying to start a new research.) Checking in a bit later after the jewelry research SHOULD have completed, and I was able to start researching a new trait as normal.

Update: in addition to (incorrectly) showing a research slot is free when this bug occurs, the UI will show that the trait that you are actually currently researching is NOT researched yet. It appears as if you have not begun researching it.
The only workaround that I am aware of for this issue is to simply wait until the (invisible) trait research completes. The research slot will then actually be available and the trait researched will show as known.

Just chiming in that I experienced this with my crafter today with Clothing .. shows 2/3 research, but unable to start a research ... restarted game a few times, but I am still getting this bug...

Amarlado

I also experienced this today; I disabled all my addons, re-entered, and showed 3/3. Then I re-enabled all my addons, re-entered, and showed 2/3 (the original bug).

So it's one of my addons, but I didn't have time to figure out which one. (Or a LUA function that the addon relies upon)

@Amarlado,
I tried this on two toons that had the bug this morning. Disabled all addons, one by one, and was still seeing the bug. I did not try to relog as well though.

So after a couple days of dealing with this, it appears that the bug doesn't happen as long as I'm not researching a jewelry trait. If I start a new jewelry trait, the next time I log on to that character, it comes back. The timer still counts down and the "missing research" finishes as usual but it just randomly doesn't display one of the active items in the workbenches. I could see how this would be really annoying if I hadn't been keeping track of everything on an app.

GaelicCat

I got this bug today too. I was trying to research a third clothing item. The UI showed 2/3 slots in use, but said there were no slots available when attempting to research. This character was also researching a jewelry trait at the time, and it's the first character I've had this bug appear on. None of my other characters have had this bug, and none are currently researching jewelry traits besides this one.

Edit: I tried to replicate the bug on another character. I filled all research slots except jewelrycrafting, then started researching a jewelry trait. After logging out and back in again, the jewelry research showed 0/1 slots in use, however, trying to research another trait gave the "No Research Slots Available" message.

Aleris

Why is no one answering? I thought they would fix it in today’s patch but nothing in the notes.
Really please answer?

CiliPadi

Still not fixed after today's patch. Logged in my crafter and still said no research slots available when the game shows 2/3 researching ...

Same here.

Keredh

Got this bug, too. Along with fish filleting it is driving me nuts.

From what I've seen, it only happens if you have 13 different research timers going on at once. Logging out/in would get it to change which workstation was affected, but one of them was always bugged. In just the last day, I'm down to my last 2 woodworking research, so that workstation is now 2/3 (correctly) and I have not had the bug at all since then.

I can only guess that something was not adjusted to the fact that we can have more than 12 research going at a time now.

Update: I have not seen this bug in the last few days. I suspect that one of the recent server reboots fixed it somehow, since I have not seen any mention of it in the patch notes.

Still seeing it today, unfortunately.

Aleris

still no answer?

Aebaradath

It's still broken.

Charoshy

I had this problem 2 weeks ago but I thought it had been fixed. Now I'm having the problem again.

Apologies everyone, I didn't read closely enough when looking at the research bug that was being fixed in yesterday's patch, and it clearly wasn't the one you all are still experiencing. We're still working on fixing this particular issue and will roll it out as soon as we can.

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Can we please get a reply and update for this? Ive been gushing to others about the incredible design acheievemnts in Summerset. Please dont make me start disliking the game due to lack of actionable response and fixes from your team. Crafting is a big part of my experience here.

Eeri_Ravencaw

I've been having this problem 5 days ago with the Clothing line research. It showed 2/3 but won't let me do any more research. Then yesterday the Jewelry research finished and the clothing research showed again. But as soon as I start another JC research, the bug returns.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite

FYI, the broken trait research slot issue was listed as fixed in incremental patch 4.0.9 on Monday, June 11 (PC/NA). Might still affect consoles until they get this patch.

I have not verified the fix personally because the issue seemed to disappear for me about a week ago. Then again, it was a fairly inconsistent/intermittent problem to begin with.

It is broken on the xbox. I am running into this error tonight with clothing 2/3. Script is invalid on the xbox.
