Research direction

Start at the PB/Settings Prompt entry point and trace how the LIST-SERVICES help text is assembled and its resource tokens are resolved. Compare the behavior with issue #6864, which the reporter suspects may be related. Done means the Category and Description display their expected text instead of tokens.

What happened?

After upgrading to v10.02.00 I was using Dnn PB, Settings / Prompt and noticed that the recently added LIST-SERVICES was not showing the expected text for the Category and Description as you can see in this screenclip.

Image
I checked and found this problem on both an upgraded site as well as a clean install.
Steps to reproduce?

When logged into DNN as host/super, go to PB/Settings, Prompt. At the prompt type "help" and press enter. Scroll up until you see the help text for the LIST-SERVICES command.

Current Behavior

Tokens are showing instead of the text (probably) from resources.

Expected Behavior

We should be seeing a Category and Description.

Anything else?

Based on the screenshots, it seems possible this is somehow related to this recently posted Issue #6864
