After 2.1.40 → 2.1.43

There is a field with an empty name in the note type you’re using. Anki does more strict checking with field names now, so that’s why the error started to appear. Invalid characters in names include :, ", {, }.

Could you post a screenshot of the editor screen?

Thinks for your effort.

According to your feedback, I think that filed name “#” would be a source of the problem. I’ll try to change the filed name (#) to normal characters.

It’s working properly after changing the filed name “#” into another alphabet string.
Great!

Thank you again, abdo.
Have a nice day.
