The schema configuration UI uses response status to show success or localized errors for failed imports. ChangesSchema Import Error Handling
Priority: ➖ Normal Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The timeout message now makes clear that the import outcome is unknown. No issue requiring correction before merge remains established. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 3❌ Failed checks (3 warnings)

Full details: Linked Issues checkExplanation [ Full details: Automatic TestsExplanation The PR changes schema-import error classification in the backend and adds status-specific 400, 500, and 504 handling in the frontend. The changed-file inventory contains no test files. Existing schema-import tests cover successful imports and several 400 validation cases, but do not cover the new 500 response or the frontend status-specific error behavior. Automated tests are warranted for these new paths. Full details: Testing InstructionsExplanation The instructions clearly cover the main Schema Config import flow, invalid input (400), and timeout handling (504). They do not explicitly test the changed 500 path. The diff adds backend 500 responses for KeyError and TypeError, and the frontend handles 500 by showing its internal-error message. The general direction to report errors well does not specify how to verify this affected behavior. ✨ Finishing Touches🧪 Generate unit tests (beta)

- Around line 97-108: Update the schema import request in Layout to use silent
error handling so HTTP 500 responses do not open the generic AJAX dialog, and
replace the rejection handler’s raise(err) with state that displays a localized,

starts, while preserving the existing 200, 400, and 504 handling.

specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/localization/schema.ts:93-139
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winKeep the new import error strings eligible for English fallback.
When a schema import returns 400, 500, or 504 under a configured non-English UI locale, the resolver selects these empty strings.
confirmImportpasses them toraise; because it passes a plain object, the error dialog serializes emptynameandmessagefields instead of showing an actionable reason. Remove the non-English overrides from these four entries so the resolver uses theiren-usvalues.Suggested fix

Testing instructions
(taken from #8452)
- Open Schema Config for a collection using a user that has schema-edit permissions.
- Confirm Export button (in top left) downloads the current full schema-localization JSON.
- Make changes to various fields in Schema Config and verify Import is disabled until it has been saved.
- Select Import and download the current schema backup when prompted.
- Select a full schema export from another database, or reset the schema by importing the
config/common/schema_localization_en.json. - Review the changed tables and fields, then click Save.
- Refresh Schema Config and confirm the imported captions and values remain.
- Try an invalid JSON file (export a query if you need one) and confirm the import is rejected without making any changes to the schema.
Was able to import configs from 2 different dbs successfully. Also the error was handled better with incorrect json import.

Looks great! I was able import successfully 4 times from the same database after making changes in the schema config then resetting it back to default with the import json, but ran into somethings when I was importing from different databases
This screenshot is when I imported from the same database
The error page provides a better information about what the error is with the incorrect json import

I ran into 2 errors testing the Schema Config Import Tool when I was importing a json file from naturku database to ojsmnh database
These first 2 pictures are from ojsmnh database while it was being import with naturku config which gave me 500 error, even after I cleared browser cache it still gave me the same 500 error, I used the embryology for naturkudemuseum and used fossil Invertebrates for ojsmnh, the errors that I got from hear below varied between 500, 421, and only got one 504:
To reproduce:
- Grab a Schema Config export file from 2 different databases
- Import the files into the different databases
- Monitor the Network tab to see what the response is
I also got a 421 error when importing the ojsmnh json file into naturku

I'm not quite sure if this passes testing or not, so I will leave this as a comment for now.
Trying to import another database's schema (PRI) into my database (KU Ento) resulted in a 500 Internal Server Error
However, importing the default schema config and the KU Ento Schema Config both worked as intended, so there's definitely an improvement.
As noted in #8452 the page saves an import automatically, so there is no need to click save manually.
