(bug) Can't edit "estimated year" (Request failed with status code 400)

DmitriyBryndin

Editing "estimated year" results in "Unable to save data" error message.

From the 400 error returned, it looks like there is a bug in UI.

100% reproducible every time I need to correct the estimated year. E.g. for this person

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSSM-19GK-S?view=index&action=view&cc=4135959&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A6VTD-V993

Since there is no input field for "estimated year" I have to click "+ Add more information" for "Date", delete the current "Estimated Year(1816)" , add new "estimated year". Then the input field appears, where I can enter "1766". Trying to save I get the "Unable to save" error message.

Here's the 400 error

I see the same, with the addition that my 400 response comes with a Java stack trace and error message that indicates that the Estimated Year field is not editable on the back end:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid action modification for action ingest. Field Type YEAR_EST is not editable
at org.familysearch.sls.logic.ActionLogic.checkForModifyingInvalidFieldType(ActionLogic.java:104)

This clearly is a bug, but I don't see a way to report bugs. Only this forum and some contact email. Do you know a way? I'd love to have it fixed.

Apparently, I can use the "feedback" button, which was broken for me for a long time.

It works when ad-blockers are disabled. Just saw a similar question on the forum. Go figure

@DmitriyBryndin This error is confusing. What is actually happening is that the system made a calculation for that estimated birth date. Estimated Birth Date isn't currently a field that we can edit. Not sure how the calculation is off. Did you edit the death date prior to trying to edit the estimated birth date?

We will send this error notice in however, so that the product team building the edit tool can see about putting a better error message to explain this.
