Getting the error below in the CMS when trying to insert items into content tree or when re-naming existing items

enter image description here

Exception: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Message: Empty string is not allowed.
Parameter name: validation.
Actual value was .
Source: Sitecore.Kernel
   at Sitecore.Diagnostics.Error.AssertString(String argument, String name, Boolean allowEmpty)
   at Sitecore.Web.UI.Sheer.SheerResponse.Input(String text, String defaultValue, String validation, String validationText, Int32 maxLength)
   at Sitecore.Shell.Framework.Commands.AddMaster.Add(ClientPipelineArgs args)

Any chance you can help figure out what is going on?

  • Do you have popups blocked? looks like the dialog where you normally enter the name, gets blocked and therefore returns empty string.

  • Can you check if the value of this setting is <setting name="ItemNameValidation" value="." /> ?

    can you change to this value : <setting name="ItemNameValidation" value="^[\w*\$][\w\s\-\$]*((\d{1,})){0,1}$" />

  • I have checked, the <setting name="ItemNameValidation" had somehow the value set to empty string. I have restored the regex and this has resolved the issue. Thanks

The problem of your issue is ItemNameValidation settings. Please change the value of this setting to the default one : 

 <setting name="ItemNameValidation" value="^[\w*\$][\w\s\-\$]*((\d{1,})){0,1}$" />
