So, this is the one for which I'm looking for structure exports for the realms whose export files experienced this error.
The error that Farling mentions above is from my current experience.

At this moment I can no longer import anything into RW because of this issue. I tried a few things based on Farlings recommendations and nothing worked. I did discover another potential issue though.

I have several protected categories that I turned off protection on and then modified, which seems to be the reason why it will not let me import anything anymore.

My realm is still a "Legacy" game system. I tried copying the realm but RW crashed during the copy process. I was able to convert the realm directly into "Other" game system, but after doing so I was unable to export anything, be it a full realm or just the structure. I then restored my realm with the backup to the "Legacy" game system.

I am wondering at this point if there is a setting that you changed in this recent update (256) that made it so I (the end user) can't change protected categories or snippets? I unprotected and changed a lot of the categories in RW for my preferred game system.

If this is the case, is there any chance it will be changed so I can import into categories that have the protection turned off and many of the tags altered?
