Custom output templates in Bridge 2024

Install of v14 broke my main reason for opening Bridge... to run a very simple custom output module template.  It's not recognized in v14.  I reinstalled v13 and it wont work there either now.  The computer involved is an M1 Mini, Ventura 13.5.2. Ive used the same template reliably for many years on numerous versions through the last v13 version without any issues.  

I haven't upgraded the Bridge install (13.0.4.755 on my laptop (M1 Air, Ventura 13.5.2.). Same template works fine there.  Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks!

    You'll have to rewrite that template. Adobe completely changed the XML format. I had to make compatibility changes to my PDF Export utility script to handle this.

    I recall doing that for exactly that reason a few years ago. I’ve not seen any notice or documentation of a change since. The template that is not recognized at all anymore still works fine in the latest v13 on another computer. I would think there’d be some sort of prominent notice from Adobe if a change was made to v14.

    The change was made in version 13, and I'm not surprised that they didn't document internal format changes. Look at the built-in templates, the change is obvious.
