Archive challenge about chests and Appraisal (UPD: translation issue)
Updated: turned out it's "Unlock 15 chests" in English while in Russian localisation it's "Open or search 15 chests", so looks like you can perfom either one or another action. Completely missleading.
______
I could be wrong with translation because I play game in different language but it's "open or search 15 chests" challenge in the latest tome (and generaly all "open and search" challenges). It's not the first time I see the problem, and I 'm pretty sure Appraisal was counted before but I didn't find other topics about that. So I am here to be sure it's an acknowleged thing.
I use Appraisal to open chests and then search again but the challenge deffinetely doesn't count search action. For example, it was 12/15 chests before the game, I opened 2 chests and search them again with the perk but it was only 14/15 chests after the game. I should have completed the challenge (should have completed it two games early actually, it's kinda frustrating) but nope.
Character played: David and Leon (but not only)
Perks played: Appraisal, Ace in the Hole (or Iron Will), Plunderer's Instinct and BT.
Map: Dead Dawg Saloon (latest, but not only)
Frequency of the issue: all archives challenges with "open or search chests" task

I think you are probably mistaken. The instructions for the challenge are "Unlock 15 chest(s)".
"Appraisal" does not mean to open one chest twice.
And as in the past Tome, "Appraisal" did not earn the number of times for this challenge.

Well, then it's a translation problem because as you can see that's deffinetely more words here "откройте или обыщите" (open or search) than one word "open". Good to know it's not an archive bug tho but still smth wrong with that.

I don't know any Russian, but I used a translator and got "Откройте или обыщите сундуки (15 шт.)." is "Open or search the chests (15 pcs.).".
I think this is a terrible translation.
By the way, you said 'I 'm pretty sure Appraisal was counted before.'. Isn't this a mistake in your memory?
I used Appraisal for the same challenge in Tome VII - Forsaken and it did not count.

>>I think this is a terrible translation.
Meh. GTA's "WASTED" was translated as "ПОТРАЧЕНО" which's more like "SPENDED". That was a terrible translation but also... kinda understandable through associations (and became a meme). And this is more like not terrible but just wrong translation, honestly, with additional meanings. I reported it via Russian section of forums.
>>Isn't this a mistake in your memory?
I thought about that too but no, I'm not the only one who used Appraisal and completed challenges faster.
Here's discussion 1: link

And here's not-anymore comment from June 2021: link
But it was almost a year ago and maybe it was that period when the animation was like you really open chest twice. Then they changed animation and maybe separated "open" and "search" actions but didn't change translation and I missed that information in patch notes (if it was there). So with Russian translation it was obvious for me and my friends the challenge is broken somehow. It's just couple challenges per Archive so I wasn't super bothered about that but with 15 chests it became frustrating enough to report it.
And here we are...
Thanks for the help!

At the beginning, when this perk came out, it gave progress to opening chests, then for some reason it was nerfed, although it was convenient, because there were 4 survivors, and the challenge was 15 chests, and there were 3-4 chests in the match
