[#39094] - [4.2.4] Modules: Articles - Categories - Layout invalid
- Closed

- Build: 4.2.4
- # 39094
Steps to reproduce the issue
Add a module layout override to your template. Create or change an article categories module and select your layout override from the layout dropdown on the advanced tab. Click save.
Expected result
The module should be saved.
Actual result
The error "Invalid field: layout" is displayed and the module is not saved.
System information (as much as possible)
Additional comments
If the layout is changed in the database, it operates as expected in the frontend.
This behaviour has been introduced since 3.9+, I believe. It certainly worked as expected in the past.
The same issue occurs with mod_login.

Curious. Yes, if I select the override in Cassiopia, then it will save, but when I select the override from my own template, it fails to save.
I must be missing something in my template xml or perhaps just that my template has a period in it (folkclubs.2020)! The latter could easily explain why several on my templates exhibit this issue. I'll try changing that and report back.
The period in the template name was the problem. I can't find any specific rules on template naming, but I'll avoid this in future.
It seemed like a good idea to include the year created in the name, but that was in the 1.5 era.

I can confirm this issue.
The naming of my custom template is "nameX_nameY-v3.0.0".
If i change the template name to "nameX_nameY-v3_0_0" everything works as expected.
Is there a documentation / specification of template naming rules somewhere?
I can't confirm your find.
I could save all 3 modules after selecting my
