The repair command is not working for some reason. I tried the command on two different people, and while it still does the animation for the repair, I keep getting the message "repair failed, unable to return item."

This happens when the item up for repair is not available for return into the players inventory. It is not so much a bug as a design flaw. If the person receiving repairs does not have the inventory space to accept the item back (100/100 full inventory) or if the person has in possession the same item which has a unique status where the player can hold only 1 of the same type, you get that message. It's most like the player is has a full bag and needs to make the proper space before you can repair the item. But I agree that this needs fixing.

Either this, or you are repairing a unique item while the person has the same thing in their inventory.This happens when the item up for repair is not available for return into the players inventory. It is not so much a bug as a design flaw. If the person receiving repairs does not have the inventory space to accept the item back (100/100 full inventory) or if the person has in possession the same item which has a unique status where the player can hold only 1 of the same type, you get that message.
