    Default Coupon bug

    O.k. Here's the thing.....a person in THIS THREAD had a coupon, which he initially thought he deleted, which of course, just put the coupon in the inactive list, and not totally gone, right? But, the coupon that he deleted, is the coupon that some customers already have, and something about it wasn't right......so....delete it, fix it, good as new, right? wrong.....since it's now inactive, and not deleted, and the code can no longer be used (I re-enacted this issue, also), and there's no way to re-activate the coupon, he's lost

    So now, this person's gonna have some mad (and gone) customers, if they try to use this coupon before this issue is resolved.


    So, therefore, the bug:
    1. Can't FULLY delete coupon
    2. Can't use same code
    3. Can't re-activate inactive coupon
    4. Shouldn't be allowed to edit an inactive coupon, without the option to re-activate it.
    5. BUG! Aghhhhhh!

    NOTE: the other way to do this is to edit the Discount Coupon that is Deactivated and change the code for example from:
    1138C

    to be:
    1138CR

    Then copy 1138CR to 1138C ...

    Now the coupon code is active again ...

    Watch the bouncing ball ...

    Discount Coupon: 1138C

    accidentally gets set to Inactive ...

    Edit this Inactive Discount Coupon and set the code to: 1138CR

    Now Copy Discount Coupon: 1138CR

    and edit and chance this copied, active Discount Coupon code to: 1138C

    voila!
