Error in loading data entry forms

Support - Assistance technique

Hi Devs,

I get this error in Firefox when attempting to load data entry forms.

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character

var metaData = JSON.parse( sessionStorage[KEY_METADATA] );

Version:2.12 Build revision:11201

Any idea how to find out what this might be?

Regards,

Jason

This seems to be related to the presence of a carriage return in an indicator formula.

I do not have a full procedure to reproduce this, but I think it should be as follows.

  1. Create a custom data entry form with an indicator.

  2. Be sure there is a carriage return in the indicator formula.

  3. Assign the data entry form to an orgunit.

  4. Go to Data Entry and no forms for any orgunit will load.

Regards,

Jason

This is funny, I have seen this a few times but not been able to reproduce - on Ubuntu that is. What OS are you on? It might be the Windows line feed that causes it (\r\n vs \n). Can anyone else test this on Windows and confirm?
