Adding a single control with a bad view name screws up the entire form.

Added a button, and somehow typed in the wrong view name apparently, then when i switched to a different object on the form to set another property, the entire form broke and i could no longer access any property and now the entire form will no longer open in the customization editor..

 

Can anyone suggest how I can get this resolved so i dont have to rebuild the entire form?  I am not an aspx expert and have been on a steep learning curve ever since we started in with Acumatica and frankly its disappointing.

Is it a custom screen or a customized screen? Either way, don't rebuild.

If it's custom, open the .aspx file from the Files section of the customization, make the change, and save. Then it should load.

If it's customized, use the File menu to Edit Project XML. Make the change, and save.

    Have you used any special characters? I know I have experienced issues when using them prior.

    In aspx/html you should use their ampersand equivalent instead to ensure the form is not parsed incorrectly.
