Does anyone know how to fix this? If you mess with the signatures in the functions, the syntax checker can throw up false errors. Sometimes they will go away with recycling, but this one has been stuck even after moving the functions from environment to environment. It still saves and works fine, but there errors in the error list are super annoying. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/7/d/7d9474788de787138241475e1bb62b4d966f1cf6.png) ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/d/0/d06f6a3eda2bbc3745d793ee68bedcad8dba6ae8.png) ---

I have noticed the same, but didn’t quite know how to describe it at the time, so I didn’t make a ticket. The way I fixed it was to copy the function _ **manually** _, ie, recreating it. Saved, deleted the original, saved, copied the one I just made to the old name, saved, and deleted the copy. It was a pain but I was back in business. It was also inconsistent, I wasn’t sure what I had done to make it happen. ---

> [@klincecum](#): > > The way I fixed it was to copy the function _ **manually** _, ie, recreating it. Yeah, not doing that. It’s working… At some point, I’ll try to explore under the hood and see if I can find the bug… but I’m not quite desperate enough for that. And frankly, if you (@klincecum ) haven’t yet, it must be harder that I think it is to do that… ---

Ok. Bumping this because it’s happening to me again and it’s annoying the crap out of me. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? ---

> [@Banderson](#): > > Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Comment out the function code. Delete the signature and save. Close the editor. Reopen, recreate the signature, and save, then uncomment your function code and save. I have also had success by commenting out the code, saving, then exporting the library and reimporting it with force, and then uncommenting the code and saving. ---

On prem for the win! So whatever is looking at the signature for the syntax check isn’t looking at the same thing as the one on save. This is a screen shot after I fixed it, but if you move things around, the ParameterID and Order aren’t the same number, which is understandable. However, the syntax check was getting the field order from the parameterID instead of the order, so it was giving you an error, when it doesn’t really have one since the compiler uses the order (like it should). So I adjusted the parameter IDs to match the order number, and now the error goes away. ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/1/4/141b76a2ad009c349bde91b4782c371df89b59a5.png) Now. how the heck do I present this to support and actually have it work through as a bug??? ---

I feel like this one they can’t deny is a bug. It’s very reproducible. Honestly I would have expected it to be fixed by now, but I just tested it in 2025.1.10 and it’s still borked. I created two functions in a library. - func1 - - input1 (string) - - input2 (string) - - input3 (int) - func2 - - input1 (string) I took input3 and moved it to the second spot so the arguments were then (string, int, string). func2 code is ```csharp this.ThisLib.function_1("test", 12, "test"); ``` and it freaks out that it _ **can’t convert int to string** _ LAME! ---

Adding a data point to this. I had this same issue, but my ParameterID and Order values _were_ the same. I added a second parameter that is a string, but was getting an error saying it cannot convert String to Bool. I went into the DB and switched the DataType from System.String to System.Boolean, refreshed my function, then switched it back to System.String, refreshed my function again and then it worked. 🤷‍♀️ ```auto UPDATE Ecf.EfxFunctionSignature SET DataType = 'System.Boolean' /*'System.String'*/ WHERE SysRowID = '45DE4DB5-9ED7-42D1-87EE-B34500F0EB0A' ``` ---

12.0.100.11 = 2025.1.11 (current SaaS version) I AM GUESSING HERE… 12.2.x is probably 2026.1 (May/June 2025 release), since 12.1.x is likely 2025.2 (October/November 2025 release) ---
