It looks like this occurs in .28 and .29 and happens when you have a more recent version of the note type and try to import and older version of the same note type. Do you have any recommendations on what needs to be updated on the add-on? I have not heard back from John Pincock yet, but I’m getting a few emails a day about this error causing panic for many med students. If not, no worries!

Do you have any plans to incorporate Arthur’s PR anytime soon for this? We plan to be seriously delving into the updating and collaboration side of things in the near future as @andrewsanchez previously messaged you about.
