Bug report / looking for workarounds for recent ChatGPT Plugin mechanism Bug for long Strings

As of 8/2023, ChatGPT has a bug / problem that when a plugin request contains a long string such as a multi line text fragment that often leads to ApiSyntaxError: Could not parse API call kwargs as JSON: exception=Expecting ',' delimiter... during the plugin call because the generated JSON for the request is wrong. For instance:

{
  "path": "ui.apps/src/test/content/jcr_root/apps/foo/bar/_cq_dialog/.content.xml",
  "replacements": [
    {
      "search": "</items>\n    </content>",
      "replace": "<generationControl jcr:primaryType=\"nt:unstructured\" sling:resourceType=\"granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container\" fieldDescription=\"Generation Control\">\n" +
        "            <items jcr:primaryType=\"nt:unstructured\">\n" +
        "                <generationControlButtons jcr:primaryType=\"nt:unstructured\" sling:resourceType=\"granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container\" 
...

Note that in the replace it uses a + to concatenate Strings in the text fragment, which would be perfectly fine for Javascript, but not JSON. Unfortunately that seriously harms my Developers Workbench plugin.
Now - if OpenAI would just support that kind of plugin request, that would nicely solve this bug. (Is there an official place where to report such ChatGPT bugs?)
In the meantime - has somebody a workaround for that problem? I partially “solved” a similar problem that the ChatGPT plugin mechanism gives a bad error message ApiSyntaxError: Could not parse API call kwargs as JSON: exception=Unterminated string ... to ChatGPT whenever the plugin request is too long by explaining that to ChatGPT in the description_for_model in ai-plugin.json , but that isn’t a particularily nice approach. :slightly_smiling_face: The only thing I can think of is to change the format of the plugin requests from a multi line string to an array of strings, one for each line of the text, but I’m not sure if that’ll degrade performance.

Thanks so much,
Hans-Peter

I was getting a similar error when using my GPT Action, instructing the GPT to use JSON minification helped to compress the message.

Hello. I think after the last update my Chatgpt got an error/bug
I can’t type well inside the app but my phone keyboard functions normally in other apps, I’m using T9 keypad, the caps lock function got randomly on and off, the error still happen with or without the T9 dictionary, please fix this, thank you.
