Unable to demote Artisan Professions to Promote new ones

ReslonReslon Member, Alpha Two
Description:
Interacting with a profession manager and demoting a profession back down to novice in order to promote another to apprentice does not appear to actually work. Crossing a server worker boundary or logging out undoes the promotion, returning you to the level of the profession at time of demotion.

Steps:
1. Find the profession manager needed to demote, such as Chef Executive near the Laboratory.
2. Demote Fishing from Apprentice to Novice.
3. Go to Laboratory, find Lab Manager.
4. Attempt to promote Alchemy from Novice to Apprentice.
5. Receive no UI feedback on promotion.
6. Cross a server boundary or logout.
7. Receive all the required XP to level Fishing back to Apprentice, and restore Apprentice rank to Fishing upon crossing boundary or logging back in.
Tested with: Lumberjack from Journeyman to Novice, Fishing from Apprentice to Novice. Crossing a boundary with Lumberjack reduced to Novice from Journeyman 21 resulted in almost 140k XP awarded and Journeyman restored.

Expected Result:
That chosen profession remains at Novice, and ability to raise a new profession into one of the 5 Apprentice slots.

Bug Result:
Profession lists as being Novice, but unable to raise another profession to Apprentice. Upon crossing a server worker boundary or logging out and back in restoral of all XP and rank to demoted profession.

    I'm having this problem now too. I demoted my mining all the way down to novice but after a few minutes of walking around and saying I am novice in the artisan window, it springs be back to master. I want to promote my Stonemasonry after I demote but the game isn't letting me.

    I'm having this issue too. I'm trying to demote Stonemasonry from Journeyman to Novice so I can promote my Carpentry from Novice to Apprentice. After demoting the Stonemasonry, going to the Foreman at the Vyra/Winstead Woodshop, I got no response to trying to promote Carpentry (currently level 10) to Apprentice. I logged out and back in, then my Stonemasonry showed as reverting to JM with skill level 26.

    Update: tried the process again at the Novice artisan buildings northeast of Samia's Hope. Same result. So much for changing professions until this is fixed.
