hello all,

Currently working on testing the interface. I see the following message "An Error has Occurred -Invalid Character "and the message action completed successfully. To identify the root cause deleted all the components in the UI and tried to test.I am getting the same message but in all scenarios action completed successfully and this particular interface as configured as process start form and same is used in the sites.. please let me know if any one faced the similar issue. please refer the attachment for the message . Thanks

below is the SAIL code (for debugging deleted all the components except the button)

load(

a!formLayout(


buttons: a!buttonLayout(

primaryButtons: {

a!buttonWidgetSubmit(

label: "Create Incident",

   style: "PRIMARY"

        )
      }

    )

)
)

Hi ,

if we give a text value or any special characters(#%^&^&**((*) in integer field, it will throw the error but, am not sure in you case ,

Hi baratc,

As far as I know this error occurs in the following cases:
1.For suppose if you enter the characters in integer fields and special characters such as (%,&,*,$,#)in all the rest of the fields it throws an error saying that the value is an invalid one.
2.In a similar way,while generating a document,if the document name contains special characters it will also throw a similar error.

For me your given snippet is working fine. Could you check it after clearing the cache and on different browser as well.

Thanks Yamuna for looking into this. I removed all the components except submit button in the interface...if click on submit button I am getting the above message. Also I initially I have text fields and drop downs. I am doing validation for the user entered fields. special characters are not allowed except '-'. in the user entered fields. I placed submit button code.

baratc,

Are you facing this issue in Sites or Tempo? What is your Appian Version?
Is this code called in a start form and are you using that model as a Action in Sites?

Hi baratc, any solution on this? I have a similar issue: users will get this error in below 2 situation:
1) long time after session time out, we use a third part AUTHENTICATION.
2) user will see this error even processing a normal workflow, we currently only found 1 user has this issue, and we cannot reproduce it.

BTW I didn't see any specific error in the log
