P: Photoshop 23.2.2 Can't open/update vector smart object in Illustrator

When I posted here initially, I also posted on Apple Communities, people there say it might be Apple's fault.

Adobe just release Illustrator v26.2 update, and this did not fix the problem. So whether Adobe really did not fix this in Illustrator, or it is an exclusive Photoshop issue. 

This is really annoying, been freaking 2 weeks time and everyday i back to this thread I see no solutions but instead seeing more people bringing it up. Hello half months gone since this problem brought up!

I'm trying to make changes to Vector Smart Object in AI but it is giving me the following error with the number '-1703'. This has made my workflow very very challenging. Please help here, I also tried reinstalling both the software after deleting all preferences files as well! 

I use Adobe CC 22 on Mac OS 12.3. 

Having the same issue. I am 99% sure it is due to Mac OS upgrade to Monterey. I start having this issue as soon as I upgraded. Also the workaround suggested, I where is "Save as Linked File" – I am unable to see it.

This is still an open issue. I just tried installing older version of both apps as some suggested and have now lost all of my preferenced and actions even though I specified to keep them. UGH. I depend on this working!

please fix!!

Nearly 15 days later, still no update whatsoever... Adobe, this is not serious at all.

Thank you 誠浅84032462, for your solution!

It's unfortunate that these app "developers" cannot or will-not, roll out stable and consistant updates to the programs. Although this is a great work-around, the application obviously needs fixing. Are you listening Adobe? or is that not part of your business model anymore? Was it ever?

I'm really quite done with this.... last week I could not save in Illustrator and now I can't use smartobject.... I pay mounthly to be able to use two software for work and there are constant problems. Last time I updfate any of this [removed by moderator].
