Hi Great project, thank you very much. I'm using oTree 5.8.4. I have an experiment where participants go through a Consent form individually, and then are grouped in the next app based on their arrival time. It looks like the group_by_arrival_time_method is not picking up all the waiting_players, and so is not grouping them up as I want them to. Here is a minimal example. In the second app's __init__.py I have this: class C(BaseConstants): NAME_IN_URL = 'effort' PLAYERS_PER_GROUP = 4 def group_by_arrival_time_method(self, waiting_players): print("\nWaiting players are ", waiting_players) class SetGroupsWaitPage(WaitPage): group_by_arrival_time = True page_sequence = [SetGroupsWaitPage] etc In the output I am getting e.g. Waiting players are [] or Waiting players are [Player(round_number=1, id_in_group=2)] or Waiting players are [Player(round_number=1, id_in_group=1), Player(round_number=1, id_in_group=2)] But there are actually 4 players waiting. It isn't picking them all up. It seems to be more likely to pick a waiting player up if their wait page has recently been refreshed. The session is being run with 8 total players. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong here. Any help? Best Charlie

This sounds like the intended behavior in oTree 5.8: https://groups.google.com/g/otree/c/RZObx8UzrgM/m/ZOx_8Ue7CAAJ If you switch back to those tabs, even for just a second, it should pick up those players again (but will drop them again after a minute or less). Let me know what you observe.
