I'm using RED.library in node-red-contrib-hal2, and I'm having some problems in Node-RED v3.0.x. 'Open library...' no longer works with error
```auto
red.min.js?v=3.0.2:18 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'split')

```
'Save to library' still works as it should.
I'm guessing there's been a change? I've tried this in v.3.0.0 and v3.0.2.
My library.create:
```auto
RED.library.create({
url:"hal2ThingType",
type:"hal2ThingType",
editor:editors['statusFn'],
fields:[
{
name: 'name',
get: function() { return $("#node-config-input-name").val(); },

},
{

get: function() { return ($("#node-config-input-hbLWT").val() === null) ? '' : $("#node-config-input-hbLWT").val(); },

}
],
ext: "template"
});

There are 2 ways to fix this...
1. add `mode` and/or `title` to the options for `RED.library.create({ title: 'My Library', mode: 'ace/mode/json', url: 'xxx', type: 'xxx', ... }`
OR
2. upgrade to v3.0.2 (a bug was fixed 3 weeks ago)
Proof in v3.0.2...
Code used to build that...
```auto
RED.library.create({
url:"hal2ThingType",
type:"hal2ThingType",
editor: theFuncCodeEditor,
fields:[
{
name: 'name',
get: function() { return $("#node-input-name").val(); },
set: function(v) { $("#node-input-name").val(v+' (template copy)'); }
},
],
ext: "template"
});
```
NOTE: `theFuncCodeEditor` was a temp hack to grab the function nodes editor & provide an editor instance to the library create options

Title & mode works perfectly, thank you!
