Hello forummembers,

I’m using EM 6.0.6.

In the fieldmanager I updated on of the values of a checkbox-field under ‘Populate the menu manually’.

After this small update some of the entries are giving an error-message : Cannot Update Entry. We were unable to update this entry, please review and fix errors below. > Invalid Selection. When I restore the original value in the fieldmanager, the problem is gone.

How can I edit these checkbox-values without running in these entrie-errors ? _ THX

Yes I’ve seen that one as well.

My solution:

  1. Add the new value in addition to the existing ones
  2. Update your entries, assign the new value where necessary and/or deselect the old value where it’s no longer needed
  3. Remove the old value from the checkbox field

If you find a entry that still throws the error repeat steps 1-3
