Error when saving SerializationException

Ryan_Smith · April 22, 2026, 1:01pm

Have a running project that I went into to add security to a button. I cannot save the project, as I get this error. I am doing searches for possible solutions, but would love some help.

You should open a support ticket. (You will almost certainly need to upgrade.)

Clues from the other topics suggest there's a font that needs tweaking.
