With #1781, these formats are only accepted now:

      BarcodeFormat.ean8,
      BarcodeFormat.ean13,
      BarcodeFormat.upca,
      BarcodeFormat.upce,
      BarcodeFormat.code39,
      BarcodeFormat.code93,
      BarcodeFormat.code128,
      BarcodeFormat.itf,
      BarcodeFormat.codabar,

Is-it still an issue?

[cli1005]

Since Server calls a function normalize_code to verify whether the barcode is valid in the beginning of almost all operations, including searching and uploading.

If the scanned barcode is invalid, the code in FetchedStatus will be empty as follows: {status: 0, code: , status_verbose: no code or invalid code, product: null}

In this case a little message will show like this to avoid wasting time in creating and uploading :

Please let me know if it is not OK for you, thanks
