error attempting to edit service: ValueError: Expected string. Got <type 'list'>

[arthur sherman]

when attempting to edit the http service, configure->service->http->use->src-pnp->save changes, i get:

i'm using adagios 1.6.1, nagios 4.1.1, debian 8 (jessie) . looks like something very deep in python code.  any hints?

when i try the edit via configure->service->http->geek edit (edit it ',srv-pnp)->save changes, i get:

'Warning! fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git'

i didn't try editing each and every service yet, so i don't know which (hopefully none) errors are awaiting me there.

tnx,

ams
