Issue/Introduction

Description:

When I try to create a custom attribute (Calculated Number) in the Team object I get an error. "ODF-0010 Invalid Expression. Check the format to make sure it is correct."

The expression passes validation but errors out on Submit.

Logged in as Admin. Can't create custom attributes.

Steps to reproduce it:

2. Select Portlets
   
   
3. Select the Team Portlet & Open it
   
   
4. Click on attributes
   
   
5. Create a new attribute with data type: calculated
   
   
6. Click on the link to define the values
   
   
7. The description of the attributes is:
   
   
   1. Function= Substract
      
      
   2. Function Syntax= Subtract(number1,number2)
      
      
   3. Function Description= Returns the result of subtracting number 2 from number 1
      
      
   4. Argument number= 2
      
      
   5. Argument 1 --> attribute is selected with= Resource Availability (availsum)

   9. the expression validates fine: (availsum-hard_sum) in the expression window with a message: ODF-0020: The expression syntax is valid.
