@vdanylenko hey! Any updates here? What's the status on this issue?  Can't reproduce this one on the master. same problem here, docker compose in attachment
[kafka-ui.yaml.txt](https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/files/8169716/kafka-ui.yaml.txt)
  @moravcik94 hey, can you provide steps to reproduce this? Are they the same described in the first message?
```suggestion
  private static final String INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_AN_EARLIER_SCHEMA = "incompatible with an earlier schema version";
```
Edit Schema is throwing error from backend for JSON and AVRO types
**Describe the bug**
(A clear and concise description of what the bug is.)
While working on https://github.com/provectus/kafka-ui/issues/1388 I noticed that after submitting changes for both JSON and AVRO types in edit schema page it throws backend error and changes aren't being saved.
For Protobuf type backend works fine.

**Set up**
(How do you run the app?

**Steps to Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1.Go to Schema registry
2.Select schema with JSON or AVRO schemaType
3.press Edit Schema button
4.make changes and press Submit button
