Problems when changing era name through the addme [Solved]

Hi GT
I have a problem : my game is crashing when I try to change the name of an era through the addme.lua
I know that the error is in the part that I've underlined but not where exactly in this part
Notice that I've added a new era ( DAFy_con ) and everything works fine when I don't try to change the name of an era.
my addme.lua
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]--Search through the missionlist to find a map that matches mapName,
--then insert the new flags into said entry.
--Use this when you know the map already exists, but this content patch is just
--adding new gamemodes (otherwise you should just add whole new entries to the missionlist)
function AddNewGameModes(missionList, mapName, newFlags)
for i, mission in missionList do
if mission.mapluafile == mapName then
for flag, value in pairs(newFlags) do
mission[flag] = value
end
end
end
end
--insert totally new maps here:
local sp_n = 0
local mp_n = 0
sp_n = table.getn(sp_missionselect_listbox_contents)
-- associate this mission name with the current downloadable content directory
-- (this tells the engine which maps are downloaded, so you need to include all new mission lua's here)
-- first arg: mapluafile from above
-- second arg: mission script name
-- third arg: level memory modifier. the arg to LuaScript.cpp: DEFAULT_MODEL_MEMORY_PLUS(x)
Look at this part at the end - mode_eli_g = 1,} change = {
Make it look like this - mode_eli_g = 1, change = {
I Removed the - "}" from behind "change = {"

In \Data_***\addme, there should be a "scriptmunge" file. Check that for errors.
Also, there are a number of mungelogs in \Data_***\_Build\Common. Check those too.

And Samee, I checked every logs in \Data_***\_Build\Common but there isn't any errors. Also I have an error at my "scriptmunge" file, but I'm not sure if it will help me so much.
My scriptmunge

Every words that are bold are the "solution". In this case, I've just forgotten a "}" at the end...

Excellent! I think we've all been here......
Here's a friendly tip: if you don't already, use a text editor that has syntax/bracket highlighting, specifically for LUA. Saves sooo many headaches.
My favorites are Notepad++, and Visual Studio Code.

I'm actually using Notepad ++ but I didn't looked first a the colors of the "}"
And today I retied and watched with the colors, and I found where was the problem
