Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
x. Using GroupCalender 4.04 on a character with the Guild Right to change information in Guild Info.
1. Switch to Administrator mode in Group Calender
2. Change from using Guild Data Channel to Shared Channel.
3. Set both a Channel name and Password and ensure that the GC info in the Guild Info pane is present.
4. Set the character to Automatic and Apply.
5. Set the character back to Administrator and Apply.
6. Log off and on.
7. In Guild Info your Shared Data Channel password is now: ******
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected Output: Shared Data channel password should remain unchanged when switching from Automatic to Administrator. What happens is GC4 is treating the obfuscated ****** shown in the Password field while set to Automatic as the actual password and replaces the password in Guild Info with that when you switch to Administrator.
What version of the product are you using?
4.04
Do you have an error log of what happened?
No errors are thrown. Characters on Automatic are unable to connect to the Shared Data Channel because of the bad password.

This bug still exists in 4.1. I've been able to reproduce it, but the severity is low and the fix is modestly difficult so I've been putting it off. I'll try to get it fixed in a build in the near future.
