Description

In certain conditions, saving preferences (with the new preferences system) is not possible.

Steps:

Observed:

message appears "There are problems with some of your input" (key: 'htmlform-invalid-input'). This is not really helpful. Is it possible to provide more details there (which tab, which setting, or something else)?

Work-around:

have to select the OnlineStatus radio button "Your status" on the "User profile" preferences tab first. No preferences can otherwise be saved.

Adding Andrew in CC. May be a core issue, or may require core improvements for diagnostics.

Version: unspecified
Severity: major

• bzimport raised the priority of this task from to Medium.Nov 21 2014, 10:31 PM

• bzimport set Reference to bz18583.

For the messages, this is a core issue, OnlineStatus doesn't validate returned values itself.

However I will add shortly default values so that you shouldn't see that error anymore.

fixed in r49874.

Thanks very much. It seems sensible to always provide a default option when adding a new preference :)
