# Your form could not be saved

### Problem <a href="#problem" id="problem"></a>

When saving an item (such as a Case or Fire Prevention Notice), you receive this message:

> Your form could not be saved

### Explanations <a href="#explanations" id="explanations"></a>

#### Security Block <a href="#security-block" id="security-block"></a>

Our Web Application Firewall (WAF) monitors for "HTML injection" threats, and it has mistakenly detected a threat in your HTML/CSS.

The most likely cause is unsupported formatting or special characters in a [Rich Text Field](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/using-the-datagrid/editing-items#rich-text-fields). Just one could stop the form saving. Care should be taken when copying and pasting there especially from applications such as Microsoft Word or Microsoft Outlook which support characters that are not supported due to WAF.

**Solution**

Before copying and pasting into a Rich Text Field, copy into a text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit to strip out any unsupported formatting.

If your content is already copied and pasted, then remove the content, save and then repeat the step above before resaving.
