I’m experiencing the same issue using Kirby Version 3.5.6 and PHP 7.4 (FastCGI) on Dreamhost.

In addition to the Exception: undefined The JSON response from the API could not be parsed, The error with the browser console is:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 418 ()

The same problem does not appear locally for me Kirby Version 3.5.6 and PHP 7.4

I can’t seem to add attachments so posting the blueprint below:

Really?

Huh, so weird. With this turned off it works. Any idea why edits on this particular page in the panel are triggering a security issue?

Would posting error.log be helpful? Here is an excerpt from the main error I’m seeing:

ModSecurity: Rule 397e56ac538 [id "942250"][file "/dh/apache2/template/etc/mod_sec3_CRS/REQUEST-942-APPLICATION-ATTACK-SQLI.conf"][line "292"] - Execution error - PCRE limits exceeded (-8): (null).

You will find some hints if you google this error. I’m not deep enough into server security to give you useful advice. Better contact support.

Will do - thanks for the initial response and info, super helpful in figuring out what was going on.
