I found another fix. It turns out that when I switched to Swedish as my preferred language in my profile there was confusion about the title. The title field was called "Titel" (Swedish) and the field from the imported Excel file was also called Titel, so there was som language confusion there.

Thank You Helena! Your hint gave me just the thing I was looking for. I had modified Title-field to use different name. After small edit in that name all the view edits are again working.
Furthermore: My edited name contained / (aka slash). After removing that all works fine again. I don't understand why this special character is allowed at all.
This thing drove me nuts. That error message is just stupid and leads to nowhere. The help doesn't work either.
