In an old exiting project where in the earlier version of Formloom different forms were made. Uploaded several times, with no problems. The last time the upload took place in 2018.

I want to upload the same, not changed, project, with a update to formloom 4 and new rapidweaver version.

The project still looks good and is functioning.

After pushing the button publish, the software is busy (possibly converting) and after several seconds i get an error in a popup:

**NSInvalidArgumentException**

\*\*\*\*\* -[\_NSPlaceholderData initWithContentsOfURL:options:maxLength:error:]: nil URL argument We suspect this is caused by a plugin, please notify the developer of this problem.\*\*

**FormLoom 4 (4.0.9 (490)) from Yabdab Inc.**

In the popup window there are 22 rows:
