Steps to reproduce:

a) Data → Manage Documents…
b) Select a document
c) Start typing a participant, accept the autocomplete suggestion
d) Click Done
e) Re-open Data → Manage Documents…, and reselect the document
f) Be very disappointed that the tag has vanished

The editDocument request is sent with this data:

 {
  "id":"A",
  "undefined":[["participants","Joe Bloggs"]],
 }

It's not immediately obvious (to me) from static/js/documentsPanel.js where the undefined is coming from.

The undefined is because no id is provided here: http://code.0x2620.org/pandora/annotate/4965/static/js/documentsPanel.js#L678

But it is a red herring. The actual issue is that this call to findEntities http://code.0x2620.org/pandora/annotate/4965/static/js/documentsPanel.js#L769 returns nothing. If I make the same query with {key: 'name', value: entity.name, operator: '='} (ie contains), it returns the entity.

I think this is caused by pandora revision 4918 mapping queries against name to name_find: http://code.0x2620.org/pandora/annotate/4965/pandora/entity/managers.py#L8 . If operator == '==' then the resulting query will be name_find__iexact="Foo" – which is guaranteed to fail, since the entity has name == "Foo" but `name_find == "|Foo|

I guess the intention was to make findEntities treat a query against name as matching any of alternativeNames too, which works fine for substring matches. I think the only thing for it is to share the |%s |%s| %s| etc logic from autocompleteEntities.

With these patches it's possible to associate entities with a document. The form can get a bit confused because item.entities is not updated (cf the fixmes in documentsPanel.js) but this is a start.

(I think it's a bit surprising that you can't edit the entities for a document using editDocument but that's another story.)
