Hi friends from te system,

When describing new files, the system does not respond to the new input. Category and tags are not recognised. If you continue filling in the form, the system crashes at Geolocation and tells you:
There are errors with the description provided for the sound. Please check the error messages below.

I am having a similar issue. I can only select the first category, but the category field doesn't light up. The subcategory menu is missing entirely. Also, it's impossible to add tags.

In other words, currently, one can only add sounds, but when it comes to describing them, it's not possible to finish the description and publish it.

Thank you for the fix. Subcategories and tags are available again. Sound descriptions can now be filled in and saved correctly.

And thank you for all your hard work!
