I am getting a strange error when I try to access the Properties tab of one of my objects called "News": ErrorType: InError ErrorValue: Strings are not allowed as input to the in tag. The traceback is as follows: Traceback (innermost last): File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 214, in publish_module File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 179, in publish File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/Zope/__init__.py, line 202, in zpublisher_exception_hook (Object: ElementWithAttributes) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 165, in publish File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_propertiesForm) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 102, in call_object (Object: manage_propertiesForm) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/App/special_dtml.py, line 120, in __call__ (Object: manage_propertiesForm) (Info: /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/OFS/properties.dtml) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_String.py, line 502, in __call__ (Object: manage_propertiesForm) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 691, in renderwob (Object: propertyMap) File /usr/local/zope/Zope-2.1.2-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_In.py, line 641, in renderwob (Object: getProperty(id)) InError: (see above) What does an error in the input to an "in" tag have to do with accessing the properties tab? I could be wrong, but I suspect that this has something to do with an assignment I made to a lines property that belongs to the "News" object. Something to the effect of a string being assigned to a lines property? (I make this assumption because I have had this error come up before with lines properties. In this previous case, I just flushed out the contents of the lines property in question using "manage_changeProperties". This fixed the error, although even then I never understood what the error in input to an "in" tag had to do with the lines property value being erroneous.) As I no longer need this property, I would gladly eliminate it. However, Zope won't even let me in to the Properties tab. It just displays the "InError" when I attempt to go to Properties of the News object. I can't really remember the exact wording of the lines property id so I can't delete it via "manage_delProperties" or flush out the contents of the property using "manage_changeProperties". Any insights as to what is going on and how to resolve this situation?
