[SUPPORT] Correct Омск city name

Post by ASergunov
Hello. Tomrow I edits road names and by mistake enter street name "Лермонтова" in City English name field. It was empty before.

When I hit "save" cartouche says I don't have pemissions to edit City English name. I move Лермонтова in correct "Street:" field. Done.

Today every street in Омск has City English name: "Лермонтова" in cartouche. Seems like a bug.
Correct city english name for "Омск" is "Omsk" or "Omsk (Russia)".

Yes, what Peter says.

To elaborate: The english city name is not associated with segments, but with the city name in the database. Therefore, changing it when editing one segment will change it for all segments. You cannot blank it out, but must enter something. In English-speaking countries, when this happens, we just copy the City name.

cartouche says:

Change to "Omsk"
> Error: More than one city match

Change to "Omsk (Russia)
> No permissions to change city's English name

If you change this name for 1 street, it is changed for every street with that city name.
So just change 1 street and your done. ;)
