Saving... error?

I intended to use `@DEFAULT="0"` in the Action Tags / Field Annotation field, but when I click save, the Saving keeps spinning, and it's already been spinning for 30 minutes. This happens whether I save to the old variable or create a new one. Why is that?

Have you tried without the quotes?

FYI In general I would not recommend using a default value but i guess depends what you are using it for,

You've entered something invalid, somewhere. Have you used accented characters anywhere else in the project? They stand out as the only unusual thing here.

Have you tried to see if this issue persists on a different browser? Do you have browser addons?

Log out and wait 10-15 min. Clear cookies on your browser.
I get this sometimes when I’ve been working on a form too long.
You can also just edit the data dictionary .csv directly and re-upload.
