May you enable `debug-on-error' and post the backtrace? Or provide a
reproducer.


Whatever my problem was, it has now gone away.  I updated the source tree and 
all was fine.  Whew!

org-agenda t giving "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

[William Denton]

I updated things from source today and got an error when trying to view my 
agenda:


   M-x org-agenda
   t

showed the error

   Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

In *Messages* I saw:

   Press key for agenda command (unrestricted):
   org-agenda-get-todos: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I ran git bisect and narrowed it down to this (all else about my config 
remaining the same):


37d6bde27fe228cdadcb5cdaa09287872a508777 is the first bad commit
commit 37d6bde27fe228cdadcb5cdaa09287872a508777
Author: Ihor Radchenko 
Date:   Tue Oct 10 13:53:07 2023 +0300

org-element-parse-secondary-string: Prevent altering current buffer cache

I can't tell what's going on, but I hope this helps identify something.
