This is the error message. Any ideas? Thank you for the help.

My apologizes for this incredibly late response. My problem, when I follow the video, at the testing to see if the text box is empty. It seems that instead of resetting the input box, it leaves the code there and continues the error message as well.

There was a problem adding that todo list item. 1 error prohibited this todo item from being saved: Content can't be blank Content

That is what is given, but I think the program should reset the box. However, I am not really sure.
