Crash on Upload: Changeset tag value too long (IllegalArgumentException) when many notes are in the list

[ericodb]

When adding a large number of notes to the solver list and attempting to upload changes, JOSM crashes with an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException. This happens because the plugin attempts to include all note IDs/references in the changeset comment or tags, exceeding the OpenStreetMap character limit (255 characters).

Steps to Reproduce:

Add a high number of notes (e.g., 20 or more) to the noteSolver list.

Perform some edits in JOSM.

Click on "Upload all changes".

The error window appears instead of the upload confirmation.

Yeah, that never happened to me before 😅
With new developments on the website (i.e. shortening of URLs to say "osm.org/..." anyways, I'll change the template to include only osm.org rather than www.openstreetmap.org AND go for something like "(see list of all notes in closed:notes tag)" or something.
