    Please be more specific about the issue.

    You can switch to the previous expression engine in project settings and you can check and debug the failing expressions as well.

    If I understood the changelog correctly, with the new update (16.1) it also should be possible that expressions gets auto-fixed - I thought I read something like that.

    Many thanks, what happend is that I was still in the previous expression engin (Javascript) in project settings,

    If I switch to "ExtendScript" it works fine

    More detailed, the problem was : when I click in the expression field to update it, it desapears and a very large line is blinking on the screen (just if the charactere size was far to big !!!) and nothing more happend.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Jean,

    the previous engine was ExtendedScript, the new one is Javascript.  Now you are on the old engine, which is fine if it solves the issue.

    Which is interesting btw. - somebody in another forum run into the same issue.

    Can you please send in a bug report to Adobe? Maybe there is actual some going wrong in 16.1 for some users:

    Thanks!
