[confirmed - duplicate] Sequential Invoice Number Format Validation Error - bug?

[Intro2]

After upgrading to Version 6 I get this error when trying to save 'General Settings'...

 

Sequential Invoice Number Format Validation Error

Only the auto-insert tags and the characters {}!@€#£$&()-=+[] are the special characters allowed.

 

In the Invoice tab I have the Sequential Invoice Number Format set to, {YEAR} {MONTH} {DAY} {NUMBER}

 

Can anyone help me solve this issue?

perhaps spacing has been removed (intentionally or a bug) ?

 

if you remove the spacing, does it work then? if so, and you could use spacing in v5.3, you might want to report it as a bug.

I removed the spacing and replaced the spaces with '-' and it seems to be working once more. It did work with the spaces in version 5 but just not in version 6. Should I report this as a bug?

 

Thanks for helping.

Hi Mick,

 

yes, post it as a bug in the Bug Reports forum - http://forum.whmcs.com/forumdisplay.php?27-Bug-Reports

 

perhaps include a link back to this thread and maybe one of the mods will merge them together.

In version 6 there's an issue when saving the 'general settings'. This error is thrown up...

 

Sequential Invoice Number Format Validation Error

Only the auto-insert tags and the characters {}!@€#£$&()-=+[] are the special characters allowed.

 

The issue was fixed by removing the spaces between the special characters (inside the the Invoice tab) and replacing the spaces with '-'

 

This error never occurred in version 5 and has only shown itself in version 6 after upgrading to the stable release via Softaculous.
