Contacts: Since 3.1.8 creating new contacts doesn't save properly

[DBJRdev]

Describe the bug

Creating a new contact does not work properly anymore. A spinner indicates the non-saved state. At a certain point the new contact is saved, but often data is lost.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create new contact, insert name of contact and start typing a phone number
2. Spinner keeps turning
3. Continue with other fields
4. Sometimes the contact seems saved, sometimes not

In the console you an see an "Error: dist.js:1:56302" is triggered.

Expected behavior
Creating new contact should make sure it's actually saved

Actual behavior
Sometimes saved, sometimes not.

I have the same problem. When I want to fill "New contact" (contact name) field as first, contact is not saved. Contact is creted but fields are empty. I am using similar configuration.
Ubuntu 19.10 (client and server), nextcloud 18.0, contact app 3.1.8, firefox for ubuntu

Hello, same here !
Same error inside browser logs (Firefox 72.0.2) :
Error: dist.js:1:56302

Server config :
OS: Ubuntu Server 18.04.4
Web server: Nginx 1.14.0
Database: MySQL 8.0.19
PHP version: 7.2.24
Nextcloud version: 18.0.0
Contacts version: 3.1.8

As a (annoying) workaround :
1) Create a new contact
2) Write just one letter in the "Contact name" field
3) Click on another contact in the address book
4) Go back to your new contact and now you can edit all what you want, and it'll be saved.

Really weird, any clue about this ?
Thanks a lot

Hi, it seems to be a duplicate to #1453
I added my info there

Closed, because it's solved (see discussion at #1453 and following new release).
