"unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document
"unknown filter error" when importing variables which have multiple links within the document.
Reproduce:
1. make a document with variables. I have a mix of image and text but I don't think it matters.
link multiple document objects to one variable, as is allowed within illustrator
try to update the variable library with a CSV that has the same structure just different values (average use case)
You should get a dialog warning that variable sets need to be overwritten blah blah click ok and then the error pops up. Probably forgot a nested loop would be my completely uneducated guess.

I'm encountering this exact same thing. Trying to set up my file so that multiple text boxes in my layout can update at once from a spreadsheet that my client updates every few days. I get this error when I try to reload the CSV.
Only a single text box is linked to a variable? Load works fine. Multiple text boxes linked to a variable? Doesn't work.
