parseJSON error for Free Version (Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token)

Hi nuggetsol,

First of all thank you for your quick response! I’ve done as you’ve stated and compared the two sets of data upon initial install and after edit. I think I’ve found the issue that is happening. It appears that there are newline and carriage return characters that are being inserted into the JSON on save. So when doing a comparison using a BeyondCompare tool, I see that in addition the changed data, there are some new varying instances of “\n” and “\r” being saved within your JSON as well, which I’m assuming is why we are seeing errors. If these are escaped somehow, I think this would alleviate the issue.

As far as browsers are concerned, I do see the error in Chrome, FF, and IE. IE11 throws: Invalid character error in jquery.js at “return a.JSON.parse(b+””) line. FireFox throws: SyntaxError: JSON.parse bad control character in string literal at line 1 column 74 of the JSON data. Chrome is the browser I used initially for the errors in my first reply.

I will paste the first initial data list following the modified one below. Feel free to copy and paste these into two separate .txt files if you have a comparison tool on your end. Please let us know if we can assist with testing efforts and when you would expect a fix to be in place. We’d like to hopefully get this fully integrated into our website in the next coming weeks.

Thanks,

Darnell

1. After Edit (Changed the title & description of the initial “Test Workflow”. And lastly, I added the “Administrator” role to the review step)
