data merge images
InDesign 20.0.1 on MaxOS 15.1.1 (24B91), the Data merge for images does not work. There are no errors or warmings, but upon previewing, exporting or merging the images to not populate. The same data file and downsaved indd file (ver 19) works.

Everyone at my workplace is experiencing this issue, too, just after I'd managed to show everyone how it works and properly introduce this previously extremely useful feature to our workflows.
Unlike above, it does show a warning message for us that the image paths couldn't be found. The only way we can Data Merge images in ID2025 is if all the links are in the same folder as the INDD file so the CSV doesn't require any file paths, but doing it like that would make a huge mess of our file management.
For the moment, we're keeping ID2024 installed and switching between versions, which is of course not a viable long-term solution.
