Re-check issues: "'ttxxxxx' is invalid", "No existing data", outdated data

There are several issues randomly occurs on submission form today.

1) This error occurs when re-checking or saving a submission (ramdomly, not consistently) (title does not matter, it happened on several titles):

2) Edited data section is shown as empty like this (title had a release date for years, so it's not a case of newly added data not being reflected, 3 new release dates were also added by me days ago, this just happens randomly, it's fixed after several "re-checks" but if you were making an edit or adding something they are getting lost):

I put the new order numbers to credits, I re-checked and it said "data for this section has changed" but what happened was, it showed outdated data from last week out of nowhere randomly, it was fixed after a few more "re-checks" but it makes you lose what you entered until that point.

I'm getting a lot of time outs over the last couple of hours, signs saying that the title I'm adding details to doesn't exist, etc.?

steps:

- open "release date" addition menu on any title

- press this help button:

And after that, no button works, you can't recheck and you can't even save the submission, you can't go back, you have to start over.

I'm seeing this a lot as well. You can go back but whatever data hadn't been checked is lost.

When hitting "Edit," "Continue,"  "Check these updates," and "Submit these updates," one is often getting this disrupting message:

21958958' is invalid

Note: if the title or name you are trying to update was added to the database only recently, it may not yet be available for updates. Please try again in a few hours.

What is going on?  You don't need to wait a few days, just backtrack and then a "moment."  This is adding unnecessary steps to the contribution process.

Hi bradley_kent!

 

What page were you trying to update when this happened?
Did you try using a different browser/device?

As well as deleting cache and cookies?

 

Thanks!

Any page.  This never happened before today.  I use Safari.

@bradley_kent​ Was it a release date you were trying to add? I tagged you on a post from @mbmb who seams to be having the same issue?

Hello all!

It seams to me as this is some sort of outage on the contribution form, I have raised a ticket to our tech team to look at this as soon as possible. Will keep you all posted with any updates.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Thanks, but just a note: I'm sure this help button issue is a different thing than the outage issue ("x is invalid", "no existing data" etc.) started to occur today. I noticed that help button issue 1 or 2 weeks ago but was forgetting to open a thread about it.

@mbmb​ Could be related, after this issue is solved I will check and if it's still not working will do a separate ticket.

@Bethanny​ Hi Bethany. There are many merged pages regarding submission "glitches" and error messages and now also as below when checking contributions. I see by my records that some of these date back to 10OCT2022. This is very frustrating as a contributor - seems as if no one is concerned with how difficult it is for us to maintain a good IMDB standard for the world to see ?? Can you give us any assurance that someone is taking this seriously ?

@raynor_pretorius​ This is actually still being fixed and related to a different issue, please see thread where I am following up on this one.

Cheers!

Hello all!

All should be up and running now. Please let me know if you encounter more errors like this. @mbmb let me know if the issue that we were not sure was related is still going on so I can investigate.

Cheers!

Yes, that help button issue is still there. Not seeing other outage issues anymore.
