Hi,

I am experiencing issues when changing (or trying to change) fields via the field management functionality. This happened now on three different hosters, so I think it's not related to them.

I have, for example, a country selector field which I made a drop down prepopulated with a few values. I created this a few weeks back. Now, I want to add some more countries, or correct the spelling of one of them. However, I cannot do so, as I always get the following error message when pressing save or apply.

In the past, I already had to create another field, and repopulate all values by hand. It seems I can then still make changes or additions. But after some time passes, the same thing happens also with this newly created field. I don't know how much time passes until it stops working though.

Another example of behavior like this is when trying to change the expression for input field validation for a field. Choosing a different drop down value results in a very similar error message.

As I am growing a little tired of re-creating db fields cb_country, cb_country2, cb_country3 etc. everytime I need to make a change or add a country, I am hoping someone might recognize this issue and could tell me how to fix this.

Thank you very much!

Hi Krileon,

you're right all tables having "jos_" as prefix. How can I change this without risking to kill the whole system?
