This week, after updating the AddOn “Extended Composer Blocks” from version 1.3.3 to 1.3.4, and updating WordPress to version 5.8.0, we can no longer create a new newsletter by duplicating the previous one to modify it. We received the error:
Database error. If you were saving the newsletter try a table upgrade from the status panel.
The log shows:

I tried to disable the add on mentioned, but it didn’t work anymore.
