Adding null value in a list in save JSON file crashes the application

[TehOPanas]

After the initial launch and some operation on the application, a save file has been created in the data folder in the working directory,

When you modify the JSON file to have "null" value in list, as shown below

It will causes the application crash when attempt to launch again.

Team's Response

Our team believes that inputting null input is not a mistake on the users end for the following reasons:

1. Our UG and DG specifies that modifying the JSON file should only be carried out by experienced/advanced users
2. Advanced users would already be aware of the parameter requirements as specified in the UG
3. Inputting a null value is probably done with the intention of breaking the product

Since inputting a null value will not be caused by a mistake, it can be categorised under "extreme user behaviour'.

Furthermore, recovering from invalid input in data file is not a requirement for v1.4 as shown in the screenshot from forum below.
