What were you trying to do?

Trying to add a new account to an existing list. If that list already has enough items, the new addition will fail due to the way that lists are implemented and indexed in the PostgreSQL database.

What did you expect to happen?

Being able to add the new account as usual

What actually happened?

The application failed with a generic error
