I am losing my wits dealing with Affinity Publisher crashing unexpectedly after the 2.1 update, but this is proving to be very predictable. Anytime I try adding a new Data Merge Source, I get the same error message (Data Merge Update Failed). Previously, a workaround I found was to delete all files before adding a new one, but that's impossible now as anytime the last file is closed, Affinity will crash.
Working on a Mac Book Pro on macOS Monterey ver 12.6.6. The files I am working with on Google Drive.
I tried disabling Hardware Acceleration, updating my OS, reinstalling AP2 (3 times), and moving my files locally. Nothing works. Please help.
