Unable to save an application

[jlfuller3]

Hello - I am brand new to Upwork and just went to submit a proposal for the first time.  I finished my cover letter, hit submit and got an error message saying "Sorry, we were unable to save your application.  Please contact support."  I've searched around a bit, but can't seem to come up with why this is happening.  I'd appreciate any insight!  

Thank you!

Hi Jessica,

welcome to the community 

There could be many reasons for this  maybe your profile is not approved by Upwork.

you should contact support they will be better able to answer your questions.

Hi Jennifer

I am fairly new as well and currently receiving the same message 'unable to save application'. I was just wondering if you were able to find out what was the reason for this alert. I went to Upwork Help Center but was unable to get through. Would be grateful for any insight.

I get this error message from time to time as well. I keep resubmitting or close the proposal and go back in. It seems to work and is just a program glitch.

[dawitzion]

one of the reason can be because you have submitted once

[dharmesh-yadav]

This is happening again. My profile is approved and it is giving me a hard time. Please help.

Hi Dharmesh,

Does the issue persist after you clear cache and cookies or user a different browser?

[nicolas_arbelaez]

I believe I found a reason for this. When I finished writing my cover letter and hit the ‘Submit a Proposal’ button, I got the attached message. I went back to my job feed and discovered that the post was no longer there (maybe someone was hired because there were two interviewees when I decided to apply). If this is the case, I think your developers should pay more attention to this so we get a message if the post stops being available while we're applying for it.

Hello Validimir,

I am trying to save my application. I  add various skills and everytime get the message that the skill was saved. However, when I want to move forward from the skill entry page, it tells me that I have errors and that I need to put in at least one skill. I have cleared the cache and cookies etc. Kindly let me know how to address this.

I am having this issue too

Tried on Chrome and Vivaldi. Tried incognito as well, no luck. 

Browsed my account and nothing seems wrong. **Edited for Community Guidelines** is my username

Hi Matias,

Please clear cache and cookies on your Chrome browser, try to submit a proposal again and let me know if the problem persists.

[mrbarletta]

No Luck.

Tried with 3 different browsers (Firefox/Chrome/Vivaldi) and it doesn't allow me to submit.

What else can I try?

I can't seem to submit any proposal getting an error message saying:
We were unable to process your proposal due to missing address information. Add your full address.

You will need to add your city to your address as well. To do this go to Settings > Contact Info > Location and make sure that every field is populated accordingly. Thank you.
