       A pop-up error appears when student logs in and visits dashboard. The error displayed is:

      Syntax Error

      JSON.parse: bad escaped character at line 1 column 26 of the JSON data.

       

      This happens when a student is a member of a group with "\" characters and an activity with due date has a group override for that group.
