If you enter an invalid value in an input form, it gives an error and damages the source code. You cannot recover from this, except unlocking and fixing the code. However, this is not possible for cpdz files.
If you save and overwrite the file, the damaged code is saved and the file gets corrupted. It is unbelievable how we missed this so far.
You can try it on your current version.
Today, I added a preliminary data validation to check if all input fields contain valid numbers. If not, an appropriate error message is displayed and the user has the opportunity to correct the input.

Yesterday I was reported a severe bug in Calcpad:

Now, it is not possible to damage the file. Also, application crash handling, logging and recovery was improved. You can download the updated version from: https://github.com/Proektsoftbg/Calcpad/blob/main/Setup/calcpad-setup-en-x64.exe
I will publish the official release soon.
