    Hi Aman,
    also ran into that issue. With InDesign 2020 version 15.0.3.425.
    Fixing this bug may have been low priority, but please add a note of a possible crash to:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/data-merge.html
    Prerequisites

    There should be a third prerequisite to be on the save side:
    All elements on masters should be unlocked. All layers should be unlocked.

    Thanks,
    Uwe Laubender
