Element is required

Error message

Element is required

What it means

Client-side form validation in the VADD dialog: the element name (the string identifying the vector) is empty after trim, so no command is sent. The element is the vector set's member key — Redis requires it, so the client blocks the call early.

Solutions

1. Enter a non-empty element name (surrounding whitespace is trimmed)
2. For binary element names, paste the exact original value (e.g. from the row's VADD dump command)

const element = (this.editLineItem.element || '').trim();
if (!element) {
  return this.$message.error('Element is required');
}

const isNonEmptyString = (v) => typeof v === 'string' && v.trim().length > 0;

When it happens

Trigger: Adding a new element with an empty name; a name of only spaces; editing a row whose element was binary and rendered as an empty string.

Common situations: Quick-adding a vector without naming it; binary element names losing their display form in the table.
