The forum seemingly ate my previous post with no warning or error, so I am reposting it. Perhaps it didn't like my store URL, so just search for "Run Power" in the store.
EDIT: of course, now that I've posted this, the previous post magically appeared. Perfect. Well, here's the store URL:
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/a...5-87987ba737e1
Once again, I am stuck in an endless edit-CAPTCHA loop after submitting a new version of my app. Even without making any changes, the store just kicks me back to the edit page after I press Submit and answer the CAPTCHA.
And any changes I do make are helpfully erased without warning. It's gotten so that I save my edits in a separate text file before submitting anything to the store. Just another normal part of my workflow in the Garmin ecosystem.
Even though my Description and What's New may technically be over 4000 "characters" (if you count bytes instead of UTF-8 chars), the store accepted them before. Nonetheless, I would like to update the "What's New" and upload a new screenshot, but I just can't.
Would it be possible for...
...the store to always display an error message when it doesn't like the content?
...the store to reject content before forcing the user to solve a CAPTCHA?
...the store to not reject content it previously accepted? This seems to be a cardinal rule of UI/UX to me, but who knows?
And of course if there's some other reason that the edit is not going through, could that be fixed at some point?
Honestly, I am sick of the endless CAPTCHAs, and forum/store issues. I have considered quitting the community as a user and dev countless times because of this. I'm just some rando with zero value to Garmin, but there has to be a point where enough people are annoyed that this is a problem.

EDIT: The problem was once again resolved by editing the store description in an incognito tab. Doesn't make this problem any less annoying.
EDIT2: Nope, I lied. I was able to change screenshots but not add text to What's New. There is still no error message. I tried closing all incognito tabs/windows and starting over, but it did not work.
EDIT3: Finally able to update the description by using a completely different browser.
Yes I know I could clear cookies/cache, but it's just another workaround that goes with using the Garmin forum/store, such as saving a copy of the original BBCODE for any post with links/code/images that I want to edit later.
Plus there's also the forum bug where edits to my showcase first post aren't showing up for logged-in users, so most people can't see what's new there, either.
It's almost as if there's a plan to actively discourage participation.
