Save Conflict Bug

Question

Tried four times to save a child of William and Caroline Fay. Each time, I get this message:

Mark Anderson is currently editing the profile for Rehs-4 and has an unsaved draft. Please contact them  or wait to make your changes. This block will expire in 19 minutes unless they save another draft or if they finish editing and commit their changes." 

Why is this preventing me from creating a new profile for a totally unrelated person?

Comments

really odd Mark Anderson has made no contributions and the profile page says 'this page does not exist'

I'm getting exactly the same thing when trying to save a new profile.

Same took me 5mins to add a Father for no relation to Rehs-4 

---

working now

If the bug is no longer apparent, maybe the 30-minute interlock expired. Let's hope it doesn't happen again (particularly right at the end of the contributions month :-)

There was a bug with the Mark Anderson profile's ID that was causing issues, but it was fixed this morning so it shouldn't happen again!

Answer 1

I am getting a similar error.

Trying to save a child of Niks-52 and Slink-3, getting a warning

Answer 2

Having a similar issue creating a profile right now.  I put all the information in, hit the button, and it just goes to a blank create new profile page without creating the profile.

Answer 3

Update: I tried creating the same person attached to the mother only. That worked. Then I was able to add the father's profile separately.

Answer 4

Getting exactly the same problem, with Mark Anderson. Tried an alternative approach. By adding new person. Prevented from doing that also, returns me Add new person, with advice to add as a sibling or child.
