INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR when trying to change portal settings

💻 Environment/Context

  • Portal
  • External group
  • INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • I was trying to add a tag to the portal, but when I click save, it appears with that error message

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Open the settings of the portal by going to Distribution> External Distribution> View
  • Check for empty tags being included in the settings

  • Ask the user to delete the ghost tag and try again

 

🥚 Cause

  • The ghost tag is an entity (ext group, player, etc) that was deleted from the platform.
  • Now, if the user tries to update the portal without removing the "ghost" tag the backend returns an error because the tag does not exist anymore
