Error after saving a gloss and a keyword

[lagleki]

1. Add a new definition of {badna} in Test Language.
2. In editing mode add a new glossword and a new keyword (they must differ)
3. Press Check, then put checkmarks and then submit.

You have an error.

It looks like due to this problem, some keywords (e.g. badna1 for en-simple definition) lack the implicit vote that would have been recorded had it been possible to enter the glossword and keyword1 simultaneously. This may require a backfill.

The problem may also be more involved. The data model (esp. natlangwordbestguesses) presupposes that a given natural language word may only occur in one position in a definition. In the not uncommon case of keyword0 ("glossword") == keyword1, only one of these "places" is considered "best" -- the one with the most votes.

A similar issue: http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/dict/editdef.html?definition=299

The glossword is not exported in xml:

<valsi word="djica" type="gismu">
  <rafsi>dji</rafsi>
  <user>
    <username>officialdata</username>
    <realname>Official Data</realname>
  </user>
  <definition>$x_{1}$ desires/wants/wishes $x_{2}$ (event/state) for purpose $x_{3}$.</definition>
  <definitionid>299</definitionid>
  <notes>If desire is for an object, this is sumti-raising; use tu&apos;a in $x_2$ (or use lujvo = {po&apos;edji}).  See also {taske}, {xagji}, {mukti}, {nitcu}, {nelci}, {pacna}, {prami}, {rigni}, {trina}, {xebni}, {xlura}.</notes>
</valsi>

In the case of "desire" (English), the preferred status has been assigned to the definition of {au}:

It seems like the "best guesses" model deserves a broad reconsideration. That might take enough work that it should be saved for jvs2. I'll try to find a shorter term solution.

The point is that I want a glossword for {djica} no matter to what else it has been assigned.

As noted on IRC, a workaround (that doesn't really solve the problem) is to add a "sense" to one of the glosswords. Then there won't be a duplicate gloss. This problem also shows up in the search (search for "desire" en->jbo only comes up with {au}, not {djica}).

gleki: I take your point. I'm just explaining (for myself, or for whoever implements a solution) why the current data model doesn't support that.
