Problems

The Problems tab lists problems detected before the script runs such as type mismatches, syntax errors, or missing data bindings. The tab badge shows the number of issues found across your scripts. Clicking a problem will jump directly to the affected line of code. You can also hover any underlined code in the editor to see an explanation or suggested fix. Problems panel
