Non-static method requires a target exception when using Report Engine

I have a tag in a word template <<[WorkEntity.SignoffStaff.Name]>>

In the data model, SignoffStaff is null. When using Report Engine to build the report, an exception is thrown: Non-static method requires a target

I have specified the AllowMissingMembers option.
engine.Options = ReportBuildOptions.AllowMissingMembers;

Is there a way to avoid this exception when a member is null?

I’m using Aspose Word .Net Core 18.7

Please help.

Thanks

Hi Tahir,

I have tried v20.1 and the problem still exists. Accessing member of a null object will throw exception [Non-static method requires a target exception]
