I guess this is a minor #Contribute > Bug :

I get the error “internal server error” when I want to change the `js.flagging.custom_message.more` string from the admin panel. the reason I want to change it is shown in the image:

number of remaining character should be written there, instead of “missing {{n}} value”!

- when I return the string to default, it is written: `[Object object]` in the field.
- when I change the `{{n}}` to `{{count}}` or anything else I get “internal server error”.

is it something related to the translation written in transifex or is it something else?

I assume this is for Arabic? I’m seeing the following text entries in the admin panel:

That looks fine. Are you on latest?

I think you customized `js.flagging.custom_message.more` before it was converted into a pluralized string. Reverting the string to its default should work make it disappear even though you see the `[Object object]`. That “error” should be gone after you refresh the page. Can you give it a try?

yes, it’s gone and things are normal with refresh after pressing “default”.
