How to debug Smart Narrative?

Something possibly changed in the dataset, resulting smart narrative text not rendering and give this message "Something's wrong with one or more fields. See Details".

 

- I tried Fix It button, didn't seem to work.

- See the details dropdown don't seem to suggest anything helpful.

 

Is there a way to trace what field is causing some values in the smart narrative text broken?

 

Thanks

@Ranggasob ,

Check if that field used in your report earlier is exist in your dataset and check the datatype of the column is changed from previous state.

These are all the possible changes that causes this error.

yes, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

But that doesn't answer the question, how do I identify which possible fields is used as smart value in the text box, when the error immediately appear without allowing me to see the text itself (before I can see what fields are behind those smart values).
