[OSM-dev] Error: too many nodes in way

[Wolfgang Schreiter]

Hi,

I just tried to edit an already existing large and detailed forest area 
containing more than 2500 nodes in JOSM. I reduced the number of nodes to 
1898 using some multipolygon relations for holes and cutting off a few 
outlying areas. However, the API still returns "Error header: You tried to 
add 2555 nodes to the way, however only 2000 are allowed". This being so, 
the only solution would be to delete and then recreate the area, which is 
obviously not an option.

Thanks for any help
Wolfgang
