Description

Whenever I try to browse some BREAD items I get the following error:

mb_strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given (View: /home/eatnaked/vendor/tcg/voyager/resources/views/bread/browse.blade.php)

This seems to be fairly common but mainly centred around users/settings/locale or something that is mentioned in other bugs but this doesn't appear to be the case here... I've added some tables in BREAD and when trying to view them the above error is what I get.

I should note I can browse users just fine.

Line 154:                                                     <div class="readmore"><?php echo e(mb_strlen( $data->{$row->field} ) > 200 ? mb_substr($data->{$row->field}, 0, 200) . ' ...' : $data->{$row->field}); ?></div>

Research direction
Examine the browse.blade.php view line 154. Determine when $data >{$row >field} is an array instead of a string. Likely for relationship fields or JSON fields. Add a check to cast to string or handle array case. Review existing comments for potential solutions.
