Issue with idling out characters

Heya, I am trying to idle out a character that someone has asked to drop, and running into an odd issue Or maybe a lack of understanding of how to properly drop and roster a character?? But there is an error in the logs, which I will paste below.

I assume if someone wants to drop a character, and I subsequently want to put that character on the roster for someone else to potentially app later, I should use the idle/now <name>=Gone command first (to clear off their OOC personal data), and then roster/add <Name> them to actually put them on the roster.

However, when I use idle/now =Gone, it’s not clearing the handle from the character in the way I expect – the handle still appears on their character profile, they still have a handle_id on their char obj, the char is still a Current Character on AresCentral, and the character still shows in the Player’s alt list on the Players page.

Not sure what is up :frowning: I am on v81.

In the error logs, I notice this:
