Can't move some topics: RecordInvalid Validation failed

TEU · April 19, 2018, 2:48am

I’ve just migrated from phpBB & I’m now been trying to move all the moderator threads into the built-in category “Staff”. Dozens moved fine but some are producing a “Sorry, an error has occured”. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Different topics produce one of two errors. I’ve pasted first here:

It does seem a little untoward to fail topic title validation when moving a topic around. I can’t imagine there’d be much opposition to fixing it so that topic titles are only validated on create.

zogstrip · April 19, 2018, 8:04am

I think that’s because they were imported topics. Since we disable most validations during the import, the titles might not pass now that they’re imported in Discourse.

@TEU have you tried fixing the titles before moving the topics?

TEU · April 19, 2018, 8:28am

Yeah, if I rename individual topics, I can get them to move. However, given there are hundreds to move, that’s not ideal

zogstrip · April 19, 2018, 8:30am

You could temporarily reduced some of the settings while you move the topics (eg. “min topic title length”, “title min entropy”, etc) and enable “allow duplicate topic titles”.

TEU · April 19, 2018, 8:45am

Thanks a million! That workaround allowed me to move hundreds of topics!
