Default article components still present although they have been deleted

Hi,

OJS 3.4.0-9 (upgraded from OJS 3.2)

The journal manager deleted some of the default article components and added custom ones. However, when authors upload their papers, they still see the deleted default components in the “What kind of file is this?” dialog, along with the custom ones. This confuses authors because they’re not sure which component they should select. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you.

Regards.

Hi @orcalator,

OJS was changed a little back to prevent the deletion of components, as this can spell problems: Prevent deletion of active genres/components · Issue #3899 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

However, I see this has been reported by users a few other times, and that it is confusing/problematic: Deleting 'Article text' and 'Other' Article Components appears to have no effect · Issue #9802 · pkp/pkp-lib · GitHub

@asmecher - thoughts on this?

Yes, this is i believe the same problem we are experiencing :

Waiting for boss Alec to give an opinion. Thank you.
