I’m working on a project for school and I accidentally converted my project to Javascript. It doesn’t say theres any issues with the code itself, but it’s not letting me convert back to blocks. “Oops, something went wrong trying to convert your code.” I need to finish the project 😭 please help. ---

This is a very common problem. If you have maybe a backup or previous version that would help, but I don’t think there is a way to convert back to blocks besides copying the work again. I will try to help if you send the link to your code, but I don’t think there are any good options. 🫤 ---

The solution that usually works for me is to copy-paste the Java or Python code into a new project and try to convert it back to blocks. Sometimes it is just the project that is bugged, not the code.
