Seems like an older version of JCB on 3.9.10 gives same error.

Some times things break when other things get fixed... thanks for the heads-up I am on it.

Well at this point I am suspicious that this is a Joomla bug... but I will look a little more. Those who can follow... the error comes from here: line 71 in /libraries/src/Form/FormRule.php because of this: line 158 and 176 of /admin/models/forms/admin_fields_relations.xml

So to do a work around for now... just remove the validate="int" lines from the xml and it should work.

TO fully fix this I need to look a little more 👍

Ahhh found it... the int validation is not a Joomla class, but a custom JCB class, and it worked before, but not anymore... so I just added it in and will be in the next release. For now add the following code:

So in /admin/models/rules/int.php add the following method:

	/**
	 * Method to test that an integer value was added.
	 *
	 * @param   \SimpleXMLElement  $element  The SimpleXMLElement object representing the `<field>` tag for the form field object.
	 * @param   mixed              $value    The form field value to validate.
	 * @param   string             $group    The field name group control value. This acts as an array container for the field.
	 *                                       For example if the field has name="foo" and the group value is set to "bar" then the
	 *                                       full field name would end up being "bar[foo]".
	 * @param   Registry           $input    An optional Registry object with the entire data set to validate against the entire form.
	 * @param   Form               $form     The form object for which the field is being tested.
	 *
	 * @return  boolean  True if the value is valid integer, false otherwise.
	 *
	 */
	public function test(\SimpleXMLElement $element, $value, $group = null, Registry $input = null, Form $form = null)
	{
		// Check if the field is required.
		$required = ((string) $element['required'] == 'true' || (string) $element['required'] == 'required');

		// If the value is empty and the field is not required return True.
		if (($value === '' || $value === null) && ! $required)
		{
			return true;
		}

		// now validate the value to be an integer
		// we need to validate a string with the integer in it
		// since this is how Joomla passes the value to the test method
		// so we use type coercion along with is_numeric
		return is_numeric($value) && is_int(+$value);
		// if you have a better idea... lets hear it.
	}

This should resolve the issue.
