Just so some clerk doesn't come behind me and bang their head on the same wall: If your new bishop was ordained a High Priest and then immediately thereafter ordained and set apart as a Bishop, the High Priest ordination must be recorded before the calling to Bishop can be recorded. Otherwise you get an error that no person matches the search (in LCR 3.0).
Good point. In fact LCR strictly enforces the rules defined in CDOL, so any position that requires a specific priesthood office will have the same requirement.

Sounds like the error message wasn't too helpful?

No, not terribly specific and seemed too technical (and poorly formatted in a small column). I'll submit feedback.

Gee, "because the results are not allowed in this context" wasn't clear enough? ;)

I guess something like "because they do not meet the criteria of this position" would have been better clue. I'm sure they're trying to keep it broad to cover things like age, gender, priesthood office, marital status, class membership, etc.
