Hi @Niccolo778,
Thank you for your report.
May I try adding this operator as well?
To confirm, the correct entry is გორის პარკინგი, right?
Best,
Olesya

Hi @Niccolo778,
I’ve just tried and the change was saved with no errors on my side.

How many locations did you try to add it to? If you tried just one and it was added successfully, I do that too. I’m talking about adding to several places one after another, like adding one, saving it, and then adding to another location and saving. Try adding it to a few missing parking spots in the city of Gori, and it will give you an error on one of them.

I see, thank you for elaborating on this. I’ll try to reproduce in the test environment and will keep you posted.

@Niccolo778,
In the meantime, it would be helpful if you could take a screenshot of the console error when you encounter it again, such as:

If it helps, I’ll send you a video of how it shows the error, and after a refresh, the same action works

Thank you for your response, @Niccolo778. I’ll go ahead and mark this bug as unable to reproduce, but let’s keep an eye on it when there is a new brand added.
I’ve asked the team whether the brand’s age could have anything to do with the error, and will let you know once I hear back.
All the best,
Olesya
