General discussion on the "services/logs/images/add" method.

Hi, I just stumbled upon the field caption. It is flagged as optional, but I just got an success=false with the message that the caption is required on opencaching.de.
Is the documentation wrong or should opencaching.de accept empty captions?

When the image logging was implemented, Okapi developers did not agree if captions should be optional or recommended. See here for the discussion.

The result is that Okapi declares captions as optional - "we believe that captions should be optional" - but all real-world Okapi installations reject empty captions, because no existing OC site allows empty captions.

Ok, thanks for the clearification. Interesting discussion btw. 😉
So we have to think about it, how we should handle it in c:geo.

IMHO if the OKAPI declares this field as optional, it should provide a fallback for nodes that require it.
