Adding a Blackboard Variable gives Error

[sebastianatwork]

Hi, after I upgraded to 2021.3.16, when trying to add a new Variable to the Blackboard, I get the following error:

ArgumentException: The type ‘System.Void’ may not be used as a type argument.

It also appears after switching to 2021.3.15. I am on Windows.

Could be that it doesnt have anything to do with the upgrade, maybe thats just when i noticed.

I tried downgrading to 2021.3.13 again, still the same error (but it definetly once worked there) and others since some of the packages dont work there.

Nevermind I solved my problem. There was still a Type added in the Preferred Type Editor, that didnt exist anymore. You can close this or maybe it helps someone else in the future
