Description: When adding a new organization through the editing interface at http://registry.gbif.org/web/index.html#/organization-search/create, some values need to be supplied that are either keys to other registry records (endorsing node UUID), or come from an enum (Language). If the value is not added correctly, an error message is displayed at the top of the page after pressing "Save changes. In the case of the UUID, it is not explicit that the UUID is requested (it might be the institution name), but once realised, it can be copy pasted from the Node's registry page. In the case of the language enum, no instructions on correct / accepted values are supplied (see screenshot)

Suggest to either make the error message more informative, or add dropdown selectors that allow to pick a Node name (not UUID) and a language.]]>

Comment: In addition to the handling issue described above, after several attempts to edit and save, the editor jumps back to the organization search page, and entries into the form are lost.
