How to manually fix validation errors?

Questions & Help
1

Verifying my graph always fails and is unable to fix itself. The problem I’m experiencing has been reported (and apparently resolved) several times in slightly different contexts (see this issue and also this one). The people reporting those problems mention resolving the invalidation problems themselves, and the general fix seems to always be to update to a newer version.

I am not really sure what I should be doing about these validation errors in the meantime. Should I be fixing them myself, and if so, how do I do that?

Thanks!

There are many types of validation problems, and some you can fix yourself, but others might involve corrupted data and in that case you should submit a bug report. What I did to fix them was I copied the console output that shows up after you run Validate (you can see the console with Ctrl Shift i) and I pasted it to Claude and asked it to give me a summary of each error, and I fixed those I could fix. You can ask here if you have more questions

Here is the error printed to the console after attempting to validate (I have obfuscated the value of:block/title of the block in question because it has some personal info)


[:db-invalid] {:msg "Validation errors", :errors ({:entity {:block/tx-id 537062301, :block/uuid #uuid "6929a05a-c027-4dea-b2d2-b4ca0323ef21", :block/properties [[{:db/ident :user.property/siblings-MfSJf1gL, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many, :logseq.property/type :node} #{732 724}] [{:db/ident :user.property/historicity-yimlR2gm, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one, :logseq.property/type :default, :property/closed-values ({:db/id 3975} {:db/id 3976} {:db/id 3977} {:db/id 3978} {:db/id 3979})} 3976] [{:db/ident :user.property/surname-SwS8KMXA, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many, :logseq.property/type :default} #{1468 1467}] [{:db/ident :user.property/givenname-DRrwpWgU, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many, :logseq.property/type :default} #{1466 1465}] [{:db/ident :user.property/parents-FpwphBq3, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many, :logseq.property/type :node} #{734 307}] [{:db/ident :user.property/birthdate-LxHoYAxi, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/one, :logseq.property/type :default} 1418]], :block/updated-at 1767833136771, :block/refs #{1472 1473 1414 3974 307 724 21 1430 1431 1209 732 734}, :block/created-at 1764335706583, :user.property/born-zvJI0m8h {:db/id {:db/id {:db/id 1638025200000}}}, :block/collapsed? false, :block/tags [{:db/ident :block/tags, :db/valueType :db.type/ref, :db/cardinality :db.cardinality/many, :logseq.property/type :class} #{1209} {:page-class-id 138, :all-page-class-ids #{3 138 2 139 140}}], :block/title "[REDACTED]", :db/id 690, :block/parent 687, :block/order "a1", :block/page {:block/name "2025年11月28日", :db/id 687, :block/created-at 1764258607877, :block/tags [:logseq.class/Journal]}}, :dispatch-key :block, :errors {3216 {:user.property/born-zvJI0m8h {"normal-block" ["disallowed key"], "whiteboard-block" ["disallowed key"]}, :block/order {"whiteboard-block" ["disallowed key"]}}}})}

I have no idea where the “whiteboard-block” business comes from. I also have no idea how to manually correct these errors.
