Not possible to edit wiki articles with system user

I wanted to make changes to a wiki with the system user, but I can only change headings, not content. Here I get an error message in the console and in the browser “Error 422”. I could already rule out that it is due to the new content, as I can save it with a normal user. It is also not the article itself, others cannot be saved either.

What works, however, is to create a new article with the system user, and it is then possible to edit it afterwards.

Discourse 3.2.0.beta5-dev

error in console:

Ah, this could be another one where the new group-allowed settings aren’t playing nice with the system user. I think there has been a temporary fix put in place while a firmer solution is being worked on. Could you update your site from your /upgrade page and see if you still get the same issues?
