problem

A customer tried to re-import and merge an updated TBX file.

This was failing with the following error:

level: ERROR
created: 2022-01-03 13:03:58
ecode: E9999
domain: editor.terminology.import
message: TypeError: Cannot assign null to property
editor_Models_Terminology_TbxObjects_Term::$definition of type string

The reason was a term which was created in the TermPortal between the two imports of the TBX. The manually created term had a definition with a null value (all other terms with empty definitions had an empty string instead).

solution

So ensuring that term definition may not be null but only a string in the DB should fix the problem.
