unable to update Ubuntu bug reporting guidelines

[Brian Murray]

I'm unable to set the bug reporting guidelines for Ubuntu either via the web or the API as I encounter an OOPs.

1815S430 is one of them
OOPS-1815M1592 is another

Hard limit of 1000 exceeded.

We want to add doNotSnapshot to several IDistribution fields that cannot be modified by direct asignment. This kind of issue usually solved by wrapping the collection fields. Looking at the oops. I see all the specifications were queries, though it is impossible for them to change. Distroseries is being queried. There is also a large list of people. I do not know what attr they are associated with

This also preventing the management of official bug tags via the API.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but micahg was able to add some official bug tags for Ubuntu using the web interface.

Kees Cook was able to update the bug reporting guidelines for Ubuntu for me. I'm really clueless as to what is up. I seem to recall talking to Gary Poster about this and he tried to update the bug reporting guidelines for launchpad, since they are wrong ("This is the main Launchpad bug queue, if you don't know which component of Launchpad you found the bug, this is the right place to file it."), and received the same OOPS as me. So perhaps it has to do with team membership?

Curtis or Jon did some doNotSnapshot work that has now been released and fixes this.
