This one is actually the same issue as #10 . Because neardevgov.near is not an admin it doesn't have permission to use funding labels. There should be a better error message or best fix #10 - when don't have permission not allow using the label before submission

Hi @ailisp - thanks for clarifying the issue. I can confirm that I was able to successfully complete the post when I excluded the label. We can narrow the scope for this ticket with an enhanced temporary error message solution. I will add more details to #10 and prioritize it. Thanks.

Blocked by near/devgigsboard#18 since cannot update production contract without it

This is fixed in https://github.com/near/devgigsboard/pull/16 but it wasn't deployed to production. Now it's been deployed to production as near/devgigsboard#18 merged. Now appropriate error message is given:
