We are not able to see submitted student applications under Admissions->Manage Applications and when I checked the logs I see the below error. We installed Gibbon v25 using Cpanel and MYSQL version is 5.6.41
Can you please provide guidance on how to fix this.

Hi @korimilli, thank you for your message. My apologies for the wait, generally we aim to reply to the forums sooner, but it’s been a busy time of year and I am a teacher as well as a developer.
It looks like, unfortunately, the Admissions module uses the JSON_UNQUOTE function which is only available in MySQL version 5.7 and above. I was the one who developed these new features, so I apologize for not noticing that this function required a newer version of MySQL. However, it’s worth noting that 5.7 has been around since 2015, so it’s not necessarily a new version of MySQL, as the current version is MySQL 8. We will update the MySQL minimum version requirements to 5.7+. The only solution here is to look into updating your MySQL server version. Thanks.
