I was attempting to do a bulk import of multiple FQDNs into a single Alias. Immediately upon hitting "Save" I received the following message on my screen. (Line breaks added in to make reading easier.)
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /etc/inc/util.inc:2053
Stack trace: #0 /etc/inc/config.gui.inc(56): alias_make_table()

This happened multiple times both with FQDN and IPs while attempting to Bulk Import. Adding individual FQDNs one-by-one worked fine.

You need the Package System_Patches, go for it and then go to System Patches and install all recommended as.
The alias Bulk import Patch is one of it. -
J jimp moved this topic from Problems Installing or Upgrading pfSense Software on

Yup, fixed in the recommended patch there.
