with latest github update, return $_REQUEST['anything']; in an element causes error

[skyrun]

when my element has the evaled default of
return $_REQUEST['anything'], it causes this error.
An error has occurred with a eval'd field - please inform the web-site owner.
Debug: Caught exception on eval of reservation_id: syntax error, unexpected '(' in [myroot]/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_fabrik.ini on line 3

there is no ( on the file referenced on line 3... line 3 is a comment.

if i turn off 'eval', on the element reservation_id, then the error goes away (but doesn't resolve correctly of course).

doesn't do it on an older version of fabrik, came in when i updated (i haven't updated for a few months... so could be any time in last few months).

seems weird that it calls out the language ini file... maybe that rings a bell for someone.

happens whether ?anything=something is set or not.

some updates. first, if i set allow fabrikdebug to NO or YES, then these errors go away. only when i set it to 'debug js' does the issue show.

second, if i erase the language ini file, the error changes to:

Error
An error has occurred with a eval'd field - please inform the web-site owner.
Debug: Caught exception on eval of reservation_id: Undefined property: stdClass::$title

which is probably a more accurate error message. (reservation_id is the element with the eval default on it). i am getting this on lots of elements and they all boil down to Undefined property: stdClass::$title

also weird is that i copied the components/com_fabrik and administrator/components/com_fabrik and plugins/fabrik_form (and fabrik_list and fabrik_elements) files from an older joomla that isn't showthis error message (even with debug js set in options) but this joomla still gets that error... so assuming i did the copy correctly, i am doubting my assumption that this is caused by the fabrik update.

Did you try to use Joomla's
$myapp = JFactory::getApplication();
$xy = $myapp->input->get('anything','default');

and/or
return (string)$xy;
to get a defined, valid value

And not sure what you mean with "copied ... files"? Did you mix files from different Fabrik versions?
