Description
Use Case
When I create a challenge based on an external GeoJSON, something might go wrong.
The admin/user should see the error message of what went wrong so he can fix it.
For example…
- the api might respond too slow, so a timeout triggers and nothing is done
- the api might respond with > 50k items, so MR stops due to this limit(?)
- the api response might be malformed

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the external GeoJSON challenge-creation flow and reproduce the timeout, item-limit, and malformed-response cases; done means the admin or user sees an actionable error message instead of the operation failing silently.
