Adding Map-Suggestion failed by unknown reasons

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
Hi, I’m trying to accept edit suggestions. Unfortunately, it’s not working. The following message appears: “That change isn’t allowed at this time and won’t be sent for review”

Unfortunately, this error occurs quite often. Even in the latest beta.
Here are 3 examples:

Hi,

I can accept a few suggestions, but after a while I get the same message. For example, this suggestion.

I am getting the same thing with Edit Suggestion / Map Suggestions in both Prod and Beta. It started in Beta last week but I could still process the Suggestion in Production. Now that is not even working.

All of these give the “That change isn’t allowed at this time and won’t be sent for review” In a black box along the bottom of the screen after clicking on the Update Map button on the Map Suggestion.

Have tried in both Prod and Beta and on different days and still get the same error message.

Hello @heetENkoel @domoun @spedracr,

Thanks a lot for flagging this issue.
I have filed an internal ticket to look into it and will keep you posted on further updates.

Kind regards,

This map suggestion cannot be approved. Two L6 editors have tried…

https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=45.71664&lon=-73.47792&zoomLevel=18&editSuggestions=41a78fe3-d359-447a-a559-c1ecd156a4c7

In fact, it would seem that no edit suggestions can be approved:

https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=usa&lat=46.08060&lon=-75.61075&zoomLevel=17&segments=529324151&editSuggestions=d8e4935b-ff6b-4f11-8a83-c204c4b54680

In all cases, there’s a message “That change isn’t allowed at this time and won’t be sent for review“ that appears.

This error seems to occur very frequently when a segment is split into a new segment.

I have several cases in Mexico.

I’m having this issue now https://waze.com/en-GB/editor?env=row&lat=55.96133&lon=-3.18847&zoomLevel=19&editSuggestions=394f0055-f204-4346-8118-ede9e9545024

I tried zooming out to 15 but the update button just does nothing instead of triggering the error.

This seems like the same issue that was apparently fixed in v2.348: Error "The change isn't allowed at this time and won't be send to review" appear when approving Suggest an Edit

And this one: Doesn't want to accept map suggestions

More examples:

Seems to be basically any suggestion that involves creating more than one segment

Hello all,

Thanks a lot for all your examples! The issue has been highlighted to the team and prioritized accordingly.
The team is actively working on a fix, and I will let you know once it is available.

Your patience is much appreciated!

Take care and regards,

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
I tried to accept map suggestions on this place:
https://waze.com/en-US/editor?env=row&lat=45.32177&lon=14.62534&s=132208391708001623865342&zoomLevel=18&editSuggestions=f3e53ee9-abae-410b-ae0a-c0678cedca0c

User already made some changes, I couldn’t accept them.
When I click “Accept”, Save icon doesn’t light up.
But “Reject” works without problem, which I did first time.

Told user to make changes again, and again I cannot accept changes, only on this location.

Hi @sniperkiki,

Thank you for your report.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to investigate this issue properly because the suggestion has already been rejected. :confused: I suggest adding a map note next time this happens.

All the best,
Olesya

I got one more:

The following I cannot even get to approve - I select “Update Map” it doesn’t select. Though if I reject I get the rejection form pop-up

A few weeks ago this was initially was happening when a segment had something like traffic lights, but like in this PL and recording, there’s no traffic light anywhere on the segments

Performance issue
Steps to reproduce this issue:
When I tried to accept a map suggestion from one of our local editors (L4), the WME did not accept it and showed me an error message (That change isn’t allowed at this time and won’t be sent for review); I also tried to approve it in the beta version of the WME without success and getting the same error message.
