Summary	20570: When not unchecking the "unseen or not answered" checkbox but editing a data set the screen freezes on save
Description	Sometimes you need to adjust existing answers to add further details. When doing so at a lengthy survey, you sometimes forget to uncheck the "unseen or not answered" checkbox. In this case, the screen simply freezes on save and all edits get lost.

Expected result Show error e.g. as popup and let the user continue editing. Actual result Screen freezes with JS error at console: 22Pattern attribute value [-]?([0-9]{0,20}([.][0-9]{0,10})?)? is not a valid regular expression: Uncaught SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'click' on 'HTMLElement': Invalid regular expression: /[-]?([0-9]{0,20}([.][0-9]{0,10})?)?/v: Invalid character in character class
