Set formulas in "Formulas" section.

Hi,
 
For unknown reason, I can't set any formulas in App sections. I always get the folowing error ". I have tried a lot of easy formula as " nfname = "Charlie"; but without success. Any advice? I must use semicolons with my version by the way. Thanks for your help!
 

Problem

Unexpected characters. Characters are used in the formula in an unexpected way.

For example, the character « \ » is not expected after a number, like this: « 32\ ». A space (« 32 ») is expected if it is only the number 32, or another number (like « 323 ») is expected.

This error typically indicates a syntax issue in your formula. It may be due to the incorrect use of characters, such as backslashes or other unexpected symbols. Ensure your formula syntax follows the conventions required by Power Apps.

    For your region you use a sing semicolon to separate parameters and a double semicolon for the end of a line.  You are missing one of the semicolons at the end of the line.  So the formula in your screenshot should be 
    nfBrandingLight = RGBA(3;131;135;2);;
