Hi there, I’m currenly playing around with the Data Exporer plugin on my forum and in one of the settings “Allow groups to access this query”, after choosing the group and click accept ✅, it popped up an error saying as per title.

I didn’t got that error but ✅ and ❌ don’t disappear without reloading the page. Group access works anyway.
My version is… I don’t really know, but like two days old.

There has been a bit of exploration over PM for this one, but just to report back here publicly too for anyone reading along at home… Interestingly, this seems to only affect `created by system` queries that have yet to be run at least once. A workaround for the short-term while we look into it further is to make sure the query is run before attempting to make it available to a group.
I’ll update here with more information when it’s available. 👍
