LibreOffice - Event Input wizard

Is anyone having problems with the Event Input Wizard? Whenever I try to select it I get a "Something went wrong. Please try again." popup message. The Lat/Long Wizard and the Sea Surface Temp Wizard appear to be working fine, it's just the Event Input Wizard that's giving me problems.

No problems here (at the moment).
What version of LibreOffice and what ODS file (ship, year, version) are you using?

You might try downloading a fresh spreadsheet and seeing if that helps.

I downloaded a fresh ODS file and it's still doing the same thing. The LibreOffice version I'm using is 24.8.2.1.

Have you made any changes to the system from when it was working - like updating LibreOffice?
We usually recommend using the older version of LibreOffice.
Here that would be 24.2.6 rather than 24.8.2.

What is the name of your ODS file?

24.8.2 is the current stable version. Looks like we need to look into whether something has changed that conflicts with our macros.

I just installed 24.8.2.1 on Linux and I'm getting the same error when opening the Event Wizard.

So it looks like OW transcribers should not upgrade to 24.8.2 until we figure out what has changed and see if it's something we can work around.

I'm at the same level as Stuart. No problems here.

I'll check out 24.8.2 at a later time, but it could be a couple of months from now.
