Error when starting a new fit

[AEB-5-47]

Error message as follows when trying to load data/phase for a new fit:

Hello! @AEB-5-47
May I ask what kind of data/phase you are adding?

Also if possible please go to your user folder and there should be a hidden file called .pdfgui_py3.cfg. Open the file with a text editor and look for the field "[PHASE]". I suspect in the list under this field there's one remember that don't have a corresponding value. I'd say by giving it a proper boolean value (e.g. False) will solve the problem. If not, there's always the option of reinstall the program.

Hope this helps!

@Tieqiong, it happened when selecting either the insert new data insert new phase.
I do seem to be able to continue the fit as normal if I just cancel the error message (now I have also reinstalled).

Let's try and test whether this goes away in the 3.1.0rc release. I'm therefore moving this issue to the 3.1.0 full release milestone.
