I’m running 2026.2.0-latest. I recently upgraded from a beta or pre-release version that was at least a few years old. The docker image label says “2.0.20240708-0023”, which sounds about right. I’m petty sure it was a 2.x release. I thought I’d upgraded (or disabled) every plug-in, theme, or theme component that I had. It’s certainly not complaining about any of them anymore.
I only have two plug-ins enabled that are not “By Discourse”:
- Custom Wizard by Angus McLeod, et al.
- Discourse Suppress Category From Latest by richard@discoursehosting.com, whose GitHub read me links to Suppress category from latest topics gone thread which has another, newer, plug-in at the bottom of the thread which has been more recently updated.
While the installed “Suppress Category” plug-in seems to be unmaintained (or amazingly hasn’t required any updates?), that strikes me as an unlikely culprit to cause a problem while trying to post an entry or edit/create an automation.
I was pretty used to seeing or hearing about 422 error messages from people prior to the recent upgrade and I’m still seeing the odd one now and then. It’s not like I get dozens of these a week or anything. I just get enough or hear about them often enough and the reasons behind them are mystifying. It would be a lot easier to reproduce if I knew specifically what triggered them in a given situation, but I don’t always figure it out. That’s why I wanted better error messages. (-:
Weirdly, I’ve never thought of checking the inspector because I figured it’s a server-side error, not one that would show up in the console. I’ll try to make note of details, especially when I do figure out what causes one or how to fix it.
Thanks
