I tried making changes in the admin interface > sources on my phone and they weren't saving:

One ref read "no." instead of "doc."

Changed it, but when I hit save ...

It just went back to the way it had been before.

I think this is likely the same problem as #905, where sources with a lot of footnotes don't save because we're exceeding the number of allowed form submission elements. I increased our config to 2000 (django default is 1000), and could try increasing that, but we probably need a better solution.

However, if you're trying to update footnotes we do have a good workaround — each footnote should now have a change link at the top of the row where it's listed, which will take you to the edit page for just that footnote.

Ah nice, I hadn't noticed that change button, that's great. But for some reason when I went back to the same screen, the change button appeared on every row except the one in question. 🤔

@mrustow weird that the edit link is not showing! Could it be because the label for that footnote is longer? If you scroll horizontally on the page does it show?

[mrustow]

It didn't, but then I checked on desktop and it was fine ... who knows? Anyway, closing this as it's covered by #905.
