Could not convert parameter `tx` between node and runtime: No such variant in enum MultiSignature

Question

Hi I am getting the below error in polkadot-js, when I am trying to transfer the balance from Alice to Dave (or any other transfer).

Error : balances.transferKeepAlive 1002: Verification Error: Execution: Could not convert parameter tx between node and runtime: No such variant in enum MultiSignature: RuntimeApi, Execution: Could not convert parameter tx between node and runtime: No such variant in enum MultiSignature

Please refer the screen shot in the below : Screen Shot

You are missing some data types on your UI, adding this in developer settings will do the job.

{
  "Address": "MultiAddress",
  "LookupSource": "MultiAddress"
}

I added in the developer settings but it did not worked, for me! – Kiran Kumar HM Feb 09 '21 at 08:20
settings > developer , then save, and it is not working ? – Alejandro Martínez Feb 10 '21 at 09:23
These types get cached by the browser, something that could be helpful would be clearing cookies + cache or using an incognito config where this data is not locally maintained. So you have less problems when customizing this stuff. – Alejandro Martínez Feb 11 '21 at 09:05

{
  "Address": "MultiAddress",
  "LookupSource": "MultiAddress"
}

Worked for me on the Substrate - Forkless Upgrade a Chain tutorial: https://substrate.dev/docs/en/tutorials/forkless-upgrade/sudo-upgrade

https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=ws%3A%2F%2F127.0.0.1%3A9944#/settings/developer -> Settings - Developer - change the JSON to match the above -> Save, that's it.
