relation presets wrong error message

[skyper]

I want to create a new relation using presets, but JOSM does not accept any combination as valid. This happens with all preset-relations.

I think JOSM contains this bug for a long time. In fact, I belief turn-restrictions did never ever work.

Well, actually they do work. You have to select a relation first! I admit this is not very intuitive.

the error/info message is totally misleading. at least in german it says "unpassende Auswahl" which means "incorrect selection"

and the way it works it totally different to all other presets !

Especially for relation which are not easy at all and you are told to use josm to edit them it would be important that these plugins work as aspected or at least give the right error message and a info how to use.

Thanks a lot.

if you create a new relation, you have to insert a type=route, before you can use the relation-route-preset. Otherwise you get the same error message as above.
It would be better josm would set the type=route automatically if you select the route preset.

Replying to ajoessen:

Just tested: It would work, if the new relation would have the focus. But the focus is still on the element you have inserted into the new relation. In fact, you have to search in the relation editor for the new relation (named "0", 1 element), double-click it, then you can use the preset.

I think this might be solved by r3518.

(In [3558]) fix #4744 - call relation editor instead of creating relation directly
