Hi all,

I am reaching out to you to get some assist in resolving the error I encounter when copying the content of the setting-schema.sjon content to Dawn 10.0.0 from Dawn 2.3.0

The error states:

New schema is incompatible with current setting value: setting ‘page-with’ must be a string

the error occurs when trying to save the file.

The code in this file is listed below:

},
{
“name”: “t:settings_schema.layout.name”,
“settings”: [
{
“type”: “select”,
“id”: “page_width”,
“options”: [
{
“value”: “1200”,
“label”: “t:settings_schema.layout.settings.page_width.options__1.label”
},
{
“value”: “1600”,
“label”: “t:settings_schema.layout.settings.page_width.options__2.label”
}
],
“default”: “1600”,
“label”: “t:settings_schema.layout.settings.page_width.label”
}
]
}

to the best of my knowledge the values are defined as strings.

The value in the settings-data is also defined as a string.

What puzzles me is that it worked in the previous version we copied the code from.

Who can assist in resolving this issue. Your help is much appreciated.

Kind regards, Wim
