    I was able to trace this issue down to the interface object. The new error from the design view when I click the EDIT link is:

    Could not display interface. Please check definition and inputs. Interface Definition: Expression evaluation error at function a!dropdownField [line 454]: A dropdown component [label="Relationship to Child"] has an invalid value for "choiceValues".
