illegal operation on non-sandbox study

[adamrp]

I was editing the study description for study 1902 (http://qiita.microbio.me/study/edit/1902), which is private, and I changed the study title and the abstract. When I hit the submit button, I got a 500 error:

ERROR:

QiitaDBStatusError: Illegal operation on non-sandbox study!

When I go back to the edit page, I see that the title and abstract were updated successfully. It looks like the edit page thinks I'm trying to change the environmental packages, even though I'm not (and the option to change the environmental packages was not offered on the edit page, since the study is private).

Thanks @adamrp I've added added to the Alpha 0.2 milestone and assigned as a high priority issue, as I can see this a bug that can disturb a lot of users. Thanks for the detailed error report!
