This only happens with some eSpaces.

Additional information: I've recently upgraded service studio's version to: 10.0.707.0

Any insight on this?

Thanks in advance,

Exactly same problem here.... Can't figure out what is wrong.

Same issue here. The GetDocumentation method in extension EspaceMetaModel throws that error on some eSpaces.

We have/ had the same issue here.

The error only occurs when specific eSpaces are published with Service Studio version 10.0.707.0 or later.
The root cause is not found yet.

For that reason, as a temporary workaround, the suggestion is to use ServiceStudio version 10.0.704.0 or below to (re)publish the espaces triggering this issue with OutDoc.

Same problem here, and we are all going to new version.

When will there be a patch?

Same problem here.

I have 20+ eSpaces and extensions in the application I'm documenting, only one of them is generating this error.

Also, I'm using v10.0.705.0

I also have that problem in one eSpace.

I found that the problem in one WebBlock was two label widgets being used outside a form.

In another webblock, i had a form with only expressions, no inputs, so i removed the form, and the problem got fixed.
