Topic on User talk:Matěj Suchánek

Hi Matěj. On the wikicite-discuss list, User:Rdmpage has reported a difficulty with QuickStatements when trying to create a statement that has value <somevalue>, and in the same edit add some qualifiers to the statement: https://groups.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forum/#!topic/wikicite-discuss/IDh-ElPx6DQ (message at 18:44)

He reports that he can add the <somevalue> value, but not qualifiers at the same time.

Since you made the nice addition to QS to allow edits with value <somevalue>, I thought I'd ping you to see if there's any reason you can see that this isn't working.

Thanks, James.

I understand the problem. When QS adds a statement with some qualifiers, it splits the edit and then in every step looks for an existing value. I forgot to implement this step but it wouldn't be necessary if the server sent back the statement identifier, just like it sends the information about which item is LAST after CREATE (it would prevent a lot of bugs, I suppose). Would you talk to Magnus about this change?
