Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Pick a statement to edit on mex
  • select add qualifier or reference on that statement
  • pick a property, and as a value, select unknown or no value options on snak type
    • if the user enters any text into the field, then switches to unknown or no value, the add button works
  • try to publish

What happens?:

The add button stays disabled and no error is shown - is is impossible to publish
