Data loss after too many nodes in way error
i got the too many nodes warning while i was doing a lot of edits and i created a way with too many nodes or added too many nodes to a way. when i went to submit the changes i got a server a error telling me i have too many nodes. trying to look around for the way i got in a state where the submit button was greyed out and i could no longer submit my changes. this caused me to lose a lot of changes when i refreshed the page.
-
iD should check that the maximum number of nodes isn't exceeded. i'm surprised it doesn't already? did i just not see a warning? it should prevent me from submitting changes that aren't going to be accepted...
-
this server error should not lead to the page breaking and data loss
-
iD should make it easy to find the way with too many nodes. i don't want to go searching through every way in my edit.
