    Can't reproduce. What are your PHP, EE and LV versions?

    Also, does this error occur when you're creating a new Grid var, or only when editing one? Other vars are fine? What about just an Assets var (as I see you're using that, too)?

    Testing on php ver 7.1.2, EE 4.0.1 and LV ver 3.1.0. Getting errors when accessing variables via Manage Variables...happens on all variable types. And when trying to create a variable.

    In the LV settings, can you try and disable all non-LV and non-native variable types (like Assets) and see if the problem persists?

    Any vars of those types will not have any data loss; they will just be displayed as textareas until you re-enable them.

    Still getting those errors after disabling non-native fields:

    I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin and FTP login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

    And I should note: on frontend only issues are grid fields not showing up correctly.

    Ok, it's on local dev right now so I'll throw up early next week. Appreciate it!

    The Grid var not parsing correctly in the templates looks like an EE issue. Will file a bug report with them.

    Check my comment in the bug report for a fix in EE's code (re: Grid var not rendering correctly).

    Still throwing same error after update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2. I've included note in Bug report here: https://expressionengine.com/support/...

    Yeah, the two issues are not related. Still need access to debug the error message you're getting.

  11. Josh Brodleit 14 Dec 2017 17:38

    No problem. I emailed you access to staging server where you can replicate error. Look forward to hearing back. Thank you!

    It's Structure.

    If you disable the Grid variable type in LV, the error goes away. I've debugged the file mentioned in the error to output the non-array value it was tripping on, and got: 

    <label class="grid_col_setting_label_fixed_width">Populate with...</label><select name="col_id_" class="select"> 
     <option value="pages">Pages Tree</option> 
     <option value="3">Listing Channel: Blog Entry</option> 
     <option value="6">Listing Channel: People Entry</option> 
     <option value="7">Listing Channel: Calendar Entry</option> 
     <option value="18">Listing Channel: Accordion Entry</option> 
     <option value="20">Listing Channel: Carousel Entry</option> 
     </select>


    ...which looks like a Structure setting. Should be in an array, but is a string.

    If you create a new Grid field and then select the Structure type, you'll see the same error, but inline with the page, rather than on top.



    I'd ask the Structure guys for support. Can't fix it from LV.
