Mission plan lost when copying waypoint coordinates between missions — reproducible bug (web app, PC)
Hello,
One of my mission plans has completely disappeared from my account and is no longer accessible.
Account: ji---valenta
Missing mission link: https://app.dronelink.com/ji---valenta/inspekce/plan/sJK0pb0oESRog2ay3JrA
What happened: The mission vanished at approximately 7:00 AM (CET) while I was working on the web app (Windows PC, browser), during the action of copying waypoint (WP) coordinates from one mission into another.
This appears to be a reproducible bug, not a one-off glitch — the same crash/disappearance has happened to me twice during this exact action. On one occasion, refreshing the page brought the mission back; this time it did not, and the mission plan appears permanently gone.
The mission was part of an autonomous garden photography setup for a DJI Mini 4 Pro, with substantial configuration (waypoints, camera exposure/shutter/ISO sequencing, gimbal orientation, POI handling). I did not delete it intentionally.
Could someone please:
- Check on the backend whether this plan can be restored from a backup or version history, and
- Look into the WP-coordinate-copy action between missions as a possible source of data loss/corruption?
Happy to provide any additional details needed (browser, app version, etc.).
Thank you very much for your help — this is time-sensitive for me.

Found it — the plan isn't deleted. One waypoint in WPxxx was saved with a corrupted position (~4,700 km away, latitude 8.0 off West Africa, same longitude). Opening the plan computes the full flight path at high resolution, and that 5,400 km segment locks the page before anything renders, so it looks like it vanished.
Last good save is 6:04 AM (about 48 minutes before the corruption). Open this read-only version — don't open the original, it'll freeze the tab: https://app.dronelink.com/ji---valenta/inspekce/plan/sJK0pb0oESRog2ay3JrA/version/swBLWoDAZYVE0xFBXg1a
If it looks right, ⋮ → Copy into your Inspekce project and keep editing that, then delete the original from the ... menu in the list (before opening it).
I appreciate your effort and thank you! Unfortunately, the updated version does not contain the changes I made, it is only the default state. I advocate for the creation of a tool that would combine multiple WPs into one. The accident occurred during this activity (robotic copy/paste). With thanks and best regards, Jirka
I started copying lat/long from one mission to another again and it happened to me again, Mission lost. Just for information and to give you an idea of how tedious it is.
