We’re hosting a survey in our community, and I’m running into this error if I try to edit someone else’s survey. I’m able to edit my own survey just fine.

For the full context:

1. I created the topic & survey
2. Transferred ownership of the topic to them
3. Trying to edit, but receive this error when I try to submit

Just for giggles, I just tried deleting all of the translations for the topic, but it didn’t help.
