Could not parse XML input

Question

Hi there,&nbsp;When I was trying to copy a project this morning. A strange error happened.&nbsp;There is an error message that  flashes so quickly I can't read it. In the end, it leads me to a page saying  "Project Not Found". But the project itself can be edit normally.     &nbsp;Finally, I got the message via  slow motion video. Here is the message.    &nbsp;    "Could not parse XML input.      XML Parsing Error. not  well-formed (invalid token) at line 1 column 307 (which is byte 307). "The weird thing is that it only happens to one specific project.&nbsp;Is there anyone see this problem or error message before? Thank you very much.&nbsp;Ning&nbsp;

Is this copying an entire app? Or copying something within the app like a table or records on a table?Are you using some type of webhooks within the app the could have an error?

Thank you.

I am trying to copy a record.

I don't know how to answer webhooks questions. I am using a add-on program developed by others. The program works well till this error only happens to one specific record.

What add-on are you using?

It sounds like there is an error with the addon. This could be caused by either the add-on or possibly your schema or fields if they have changed at all. It really depends on the add-on and what it is trying to do. If you can say which add-on it is I can try and help you out.

Thank you very much. Austin.&nbsp;It's a Config.js program, embedded in Home page setting / "Page".&nbsp;It's look like this:&nbsp;&nbsp;var APPTOKEN = "dwnt9wipc3cvfcg6nvd****ps4";var userIDs = new Object();var tblProject = "bjtm***m9";var tblProjectFields = new Object();tblProjectFields['PrimaryKey'] = 3;&nbsp;//CLIST BUILDERtmpFields = new Array();for (el in tblProjectFields)&nbsp; tmpFields.push(tblProjectFields[el])var tblProjectCLIST = tmpFields.join(".");delete tmpFields;

So it creates a csv of the entire table or possibly a record and then it tries to import it somewhere else.

Without seeing all of the code and the exact record you are having issues with it is hard to say. If it is erroring on just the one record then my guess would be there is a character in there that it was not ready to handle. Do you have any abnormal text characters in any of these records?

The way I would go about it is adding a console.log to the right place in that code and seeing the exact xml it is trying to import. That way you can get a look at what it is trying to import, it might help to debug it. You might also be able to see the XML inside of the Chrome developer console but I forget exactly how, possibly in the network tab. That would be the easier way.

If you are not comfortable with JavaScript you might need to contact the people who you got the script from. It is hard to debug without seeing all the code or the exact record it is failing on but if you do the stuff above it should give you a better idea I think.
