Please fix when someone leaves Party Finder.

Unless it was changed (and it very well could've been, it's been a long while for me), the behavior was not as you described. If someone joined a PF as a SAM and decided to bail before the PF filled, then the vacated slot would be set to SAM only.

At least, that's how I recall seeing it work years ago, and having to remind folks to fix the listing if someone bailed so we weren't stuck waiting for one specific job.

No, the behavior has always been that neither joining a party nor leaving a party affect what jobs are allowed for each slot.

The problem arises when people take down their party listings after people have joined so that they can update the remaining slots to be more or less restrictive. At that time, when they put the updated party listing up, all filled slots lock to the current party members' jobs as if it was a brand new party listing with the new number of people already in party, because that's what it is every time you take down and put your party listing back up, as far as the system is concerned. To fix the problem, we need to be allowed to set a range of jobs for each slot even when there's already someone in that slot, before putting up a party listing. That way, if someone leaves the party, the slot they left would show a range of acceptable replacement jobs.
