[db-wg] Status %s not allowed when more specific object has status %s

Dear Tim,

I agree that the message doesn’t really help the user to find the object. The software knows about the object so it should be an easy fix to add an identifier to the message.

I’ve opened a GitHub issue for this one, you can track it here:

Kind regards,

As it stands, it is rather difficult to determine when there is any overlap, especially when the upper and lower bounds of my inetnum object don't return any results when searching by single IP.
