A problem occurred while loading this project. No upgrade strategy exists for PasswordTextBox from version 4 to 5

It's kind of weird. Compatibility is important to MIT, when we mention any changes, @ewan always mentions compatibility and the possibility of damaging designs ...
I think you should hold off on loading the project for now until Ewan has spoken.

I made a copy of project (renamed it) and opened it up. Deleted the Password Text Box. Selected the Block tab and got the following message:

"The blocks area did not load properly. Changes to the blocks for screen 5803647266324480_Screen1 will not be saved."

So that did not work, and still in Panic Mode...

Looks like we need to wait for one of the Power Users to chime in on how to fix this issue...

[Christian_St]

I found the solution..

just add a new passwordtextbox to the problematic screen, then the program returns to normal

@Christian_St THANKS for the solution, But the problem is still the same here after I added new "passwordtextbox" in the same screen...... still got "The blocks area did not load properly. Changes to the blocks for screen 6663023053111296_Screen1 will not be saved".

reopen your appinventor page

Thanks Christian,

I tried just adding a new Password Text box and that did not fix the Problem for me.

I then opened the copy mentioned earlier, where I deleted the Old password text box. I added a new Password TB and that worked for me.

I'm glad I'm up and running again, but still waiting to hear from the SME on the issue.

Cheers.

i guess many of us face this problem, the issue of password textboxt is already solved i guess

what about the missing block?? this is a big issue that many faces maybe any solution or time needed??

[Abhijeet]

Thank you Christian,
it works now.

[wikki74]

I can confirm that the following helps (even if ALL blocks are gone)

• Add another PasswordTextbox to the Screen
• CLOSE AI completely
• REOPEN and all blocks are there again

[Wayne_LI]

@Christian_St and @wikki74 Thank you both again and finally the project works again. I did all your solutions PLUS adding PasswordTextbox in all screens and restart entirely. Thank you ~

Blocks gone from blocks editor

Thanks but still I am getting that same error and my blocks are gone. It would be grateful if someone is able to get my code back. I have attached my project's aia file Notes.aia (384.3 KB)

[Ultex]

My project showed the problem at first but then it changed to "The blocks area did not load properly. Changes to the blocks for screen 6245173259796480_Screen5 will not be saved." a few days later. Can someone help me!
