Current Behavior / Expected Behavior

Go to the Open Global Settings in the normal way (Manage Apps), under System Info / System / Platform, Global Settings, click the Open link and you get a new tab, page displays, but is unusable due to error popup:

Expected behavior is... no error and being able to edit global settings.

Same error here. Both DNN and Octane.

@paulpietzko I think this is because of changes you made to how the dialog loads - now it breaks too early if there are too many settings.

@enfJoao / @jeremy-farrance probably the app-settings record exists twice - for reasons I can't explain. As a workaround, go to data, change scope to Settings, and see if you can delete the invalid settings.

@paulpietzko also check why we are seeing the i18n key instead of a real message.

@iJungleboy, I am not really sure how to do that, but tried. Went to Admin for the Content App, Data tab. The tried switching the Scope, but I don't see a scope that is Settings or related. I tried each of the available scopes looking for anything with "Settings" - I found a few, but nothing appeared to have data and none of them seemed invalid or looked like duplicates.

Note, to show the full list I DevTools changed the max-height on div.mat-mdc-select-panel, it was only 275px.

Also, it occurred to me that I should poke around in Site / System Settings instead of Global. That didn't throw an error, until I tried to click on

Custom Settings, Edit and I got this error:

And when you click on

Custom Settings, Fields you get this:

This is very easy to reproduce. Use nvQuickSite and

1. deploy a local DNN v9.13.07
2. install 2sxc v19.0.0
3. add the Content App
4. Add a Content module to a page
5. I then added Links, edited the placeholder item and added 1 extra
6. Then go to configure app; Content Admin
7. and try the steps above

@jeremy-farrance Thanks for clarifying how to reproduce the issue! I'll work on fixing it as soon as I'm back from my holidays.
