Issue Can't talk to characters when dialogue changed

[maggiebeq]

I've been trying to edit character dialogue, but when I change things, it makes it so I can't speak to the characters.
Right now I'm just fiddling around on Windows, so I've been changing their "introduction" dialogue just so I can test it immediately.

I've tried by "packing" the edited file before moving it back to the game files, but it's still not working. As far as I know, I'm not changing anything aside from the dialogue, but I know I've changed something because it's making it so I can't speak to the characters!

This is what I've changed Robin's dialoge content to look like. All I've changed is her intro dialogue from "Have you met everyone in town yet? That sounds exhausting." to "TEST"

You mean you are editing directly the game files? Are you using SMAPI interface? As If you do not, I don't know whether there is a game log that you could look at.
I cannot see anything odd in that piece at the first look, but an extra or missing bracket, comma etc. are the basic ones.
And as you uploaded an image instead of the text itself, it is hard to see...
Hmmm. Do I see an "|" before the very first curly bracket?

I have been editing in Notepad, basically I take a copy of the game file, edit that one, and then switch it out with the original so that I always have a backup copy. As far as I can tell, I only changed her "Have you met everyone in town yet" dialogue, and none of the brackets or commands.
