Error: "Sorry, the data service has failed. Please contact support."

Recently, I added some additional wards as "Units using this location" to our stake center building. When the building scheduler tried to edit existing reservations to change the "Reserved for:" location, she got the following message:

"Sorry, the data service has failed. Please contact support."

We waited a day and she tried again with the same results. She waited a few more days and still gets the same results. Please advise.

The message says "Please contact support." That is sound advice. I doubt that you can do anything from a user perspective; the data service is failing when it shouldn't fail, and that's a problem on the server.

I thought posting here is contacting support.

According to the help link in the Calendar:

So this is the only support that I am aware of. Is there another way to contact support?

For clerks, there is the option to contact Local Unit Support. This problem seems to be caused by bad data, which can only be fixed by someone at CHQ.

It's also possible that a member of the development team will see this thread, which would be even better, but you can't be certain that any particular post will be seen by them.

Thanks for the link. I just reported this via email.

I get this issue as well on other tasks; I don't think it's a data thing (meaning it's probably not bad data, but it may be the inability to get the data it needs).

I get this error message when I attempt to update recurring "reservation" items on the reservation calendar.
