I’m trying to create cards within an empty deck:

Every time I go to create a card, I get the message: “The first field is empty.”

I’ve gone through the FAQ page (titled: “When problems occur”) trying all suggestions, including disabling add-ons, checking the database and Anki version, restarting my MacBook and so on. Everything results back in the error message.

I have added quite a few add-ons, but as I mentioned above, I have disabled them to see if this helps and it does not.

I’m not quite sure what to do next. Any suggestions appreciated.

\*\* Just to add: I have tried deleting and reinstalling Anki, though I’m still getting the error message

\*\*\* RESOLVED by deleting the add-on ‘frozen fields’.
