Description

Using action=wbcreateclaim with the api can give a api error about constraint violation for a description in a language.

code=save-failed,
info=* A length constraint is triggered for language code "*".

There is {{PLURAL:1|a constraint|constraints}} violation for {{PLURAL:1|description|descriptions}} "..." for {{PLURAL:1|language code|language codes}} "*".

message=wikibase-error-constraint-violation-description

That is a unrelated constraint when adding a new claim for a item and should not be trigged. Adding the claim works when using the GUI. Thanks.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
Whiteboard: u=dev c=backend p=0

Lydia_Pintscher removed a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

I checked the second example, that works perfectly fine now. Same for adding claims. I tried some things but wasn't able to reproduce the error. So I assume I can close this bug.
