I can't modify the function to return anything other than collection...

Challenge Record Collection has an issue. User Agent is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36. Please describe how to reproduce this issue, and include links to screenshots if possible.

My code:

// Setup
var collection = {
    "2548": {
      "album": "Slippery When Wet",
      "artist": "Bon Jovi",
      "tracks": [ 
        "Let It Rock", 
        "You Give Love a Bad Name" 
      ]
    },
    "2468": {
      "album": "1999",
      "artist": "Prince",
      "tracks": [ 
        "1999", 
        "Little Red Corvette" 
      ]
    },
    "1245": {
      "artist": "Robert Palmer",
      "tracks": [ ]
    },
    "5439": {
      "album": "ABBA Gold"
    }
};
// Keep a copy of the collection for tests
var collectionCopy = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(collection));

// Only change code below this line

function updateRecords(id, prop, value) {
  //if exists function --
  console.log("falsy");
  return false;
}

// Alter values below to test your code
updateRecords(5439, "artist", "ABBA");

Have the same issue.

Change ‘return collection;’ for ‘return “I am a duck”;’ and see the ‘problem’.

So far in all the FCC challenges, the “return” in the main function shows the return value in the console. This challenge is different however as it always returns the collection regardless of what you put in it. It’s as if the return inside updateRecords is completely ignored for some reason.

I’m used to modify the return value in examples to debug, so I always play around with it. This prevents from doing that unfortunately.

@vedant15188 you are right about the goal of this challenge, however it is inconsistent with the way all the previous challenges showed return value in the console.

For the sake of consistency, I hope this will be looked into. Thanks!

Ummm according to me the function will always return collection…

The main aim of the challenge is to modify the copy of the Collection and then equate it back to the collections object… You can solve the challenge that way and the changes will be reflected on the collections #object too… It works for me.
