Movies added via "Movies & Collection" from Import Lists are wiped when Clean Library = Remove Movies not in List

@bakerboy448 If this is working as designed, then what's the use case where you'd explicitly set both "Monitor Movie and Collection" and "Clean Library"? The only one I can think of is to waste bandwidth. Otherwise, this seems like a flaw in the design.

This is functioning as designed and expected. Movies in radarr not on a list will be removed as you configured it.
If you want collection movies to stay you need to ensure they are on a list.

For future reference - also an invalid bug report as you appeared to have checked the I have read and followed the steps in the wiki link above and provided the required trace logs - the logs contain trace - that are relevant and show this issue. box in error and did not actually follow the wiki steps nor provided trace logs

@bakerboy448 Surely if the import job allows for the Movie and Collection to be imported, then the Clean Level setting should have an option to exclude films added from collection?
It might be working as intended but it doesn't make sense to have automatic add movies from collection if the clean level will only purge it later.

I have included the debug logs which show the exact point in the execution where it's decided to remove the files and the reason for why it was deleted.

Regardless, not a bug and working as designed. Please use discord for support issues. Bug reports are not feature requests.
debug logs are not trace logs.

It leaves a footgun for users, yes.
