LIM WFP Register Error **The display format for register field {field name} must match the Data Type of String

Hello,

 

I added a new register field and now I am getting this error in the LIM WFP register. Confused because the register fields named in the error are all of ‘data type’ string already and I don’t see a field for ‘display format’ like what is mentioned in the error. Never had this problem before, but I recently upgraded the solution. Do I need to update the column format in some fashion instead of leaving it blank like in previous versions? That said, I don’t see a string format available in the dropdown list...

Best,

David

David, I am sure you have figured this out by now, but if you act like you are changing the Column Format, even blank ones, and then save this error goes away. You will notice that even if you do not make a change, it highlights yellow and allows for a save.
