Can’t save to Dataverse after adding metadata and weights to certain variables (500 error)

[ethan-tsang]

Whenever variable metadata (questions, universe, notes, etc,) or a weight is applied to certain variables in the dataset, it prevents the file from being saved to Dataverse (500 error). Removing all descriptions and weights from these variables fixes the saving issue.

The issue seems to occur when metadata or weights are added onto a variable with 10 or more categories, although not every example has this issue. Some examples of variables where this issue occurred include: (REGION6, TENURE_G, NAICS6, WRKTYP, RNBEN)

1) Adding variable metadata/weight to a variable.

2) Attempting to save change to Dataverse prompts a 500 error.

Hi @ethan-tsang. Thanks for reporting this. Is this on demo or production? I recently made an update to demo fixing some weighting issues and waiting for testing before I update production, and the update might address this problem.

Aah actually I see from the link you provided that is in on demo. I will take a look at it.
