[SORMAS2SORMAS] Resending data in bulk edit mode fails with unclear generic error message

[kwa20]

Bug Description

When data was already shared with another instance, resending it through the bulk edit mode does not work and results in an error 400. I believe this problem occurs because the system tries to go through the share functionality again rather than sync instead.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select an already shared case in the bulk edit mode in the cases directory and try resending it to the same instance.

Expected Behavior

When trying to share a case with the same instance again through the bulk edit function, the case should sync the data previously sent to this instance.

System Details

• Device:
• SORMAS version: 1.54.1
• Android version/Browser: chrome
• Server URL: test1402.sormas-oegd.de
• User Role: admin, national user

Additional Information

I wouldn't consider not syncing in bulk is a bug. Syncing in bulk is not yet implemented.

The bug I see in this ticket is the error popup that displays "400 bad request" but it should show more relevant message like "the case already exists" but I couldn't reproduce this.

Some more details are needed about the context, what options where checked, is it sure that the case was shared already. maybe some details about the shared data: an export csv would help a lot.

@kwa20 Can you please provide some details to reproduce this error message?

For handling sync in bulk mode I would suggest to create a new change/feature request and refine it because there are some open points that should be discussed:

• share and sync work slightly different that's one reason it is separated on the details page
• in bulk mode the user can select some shared cases but also some unshared => how to proceed in this case? should we separate the share and sync actions here too?
• sync preselects previously used options => what options to reuse in bulk mode if some cases where shared with samples and others without samples

@leventegal-she If bulk-resending isn't implemented yet, I agree that we should rather open a new feature request for it. Can you please rename this issue to match the actual bug that you've described?

This generic error message was somehow already addressed with #4348 and it looks like this:

@kwa20 I suggest we close this issue and address the feature implementation of the Bulk Sync with #4858
