Schedule Module Error in OD Beta v. 23.3.11.0

[rinse-dental]

This issue was an issue in Beta v. 23.3.7 as well, reporting as I'd hoped it resolved with the newest release. Please advise if this is not the correct place to report issues.

MODULE: Schedule
TEST CASE:
1. Copy Day with existing provider scheduled
2. Paste on future date

RESULT: Please Wait progress bar appears. After a few seconds a StackTrace error is presented with the following error. After that error is dismissed, another stack trace is presented (also below). Internet connection is stable and we don't have any other issues in Open Dental.

This is a fine place to report such issues. I was able to confirm the bug with all of the information you provided, thank you for being so thorough. I will add this to our bug tracker as "Middle Tier, Schedule window, clicking Paste or Repeat crashes the program" and will report back once it has been fixed.

Thank you. If it matters for you or your team (or anyone else facing this issue), I was able to copy/paste a schedule on the cloud VM server, where the DB is local.

The bug "Middle Tier, Schedule window, clicking Paste or Repeat was crashing the program" has been fixed and will be released with v23.3.13
