Hi,

One guy in the company I work for just upgraded Alfresco from 2.0 to 2.1 (always using the community edition) and since that each time I try to modify a rule that i've juste created I get this error (using the admin login) :

and thus, i don't know why ?!
If anybody have an answer it would really be helpful. thanks.

Appologies for the late reply. I've checked with our support department and no customers have reported that issue. Do you get it on all spaces that have rules? Or just a specific one? If so can you provide more detail on the setup?

Thanks,

Kevin
