Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. I believe the issue is security related.

Thanks for that, Khalid. And I have a work-around for this, finally.

Also, Michael, I should have said that Adobe DOES read the bug report comments, so you may want to add a comment there, like I just did to the bug I'd mentioned above where I found this discussed: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4211056

 

Sadly, since that is marked "fixed" (which CAUSED the problem, per these March updates), they may not pay attention. There is also the bug I'd opened (CF-4211444),  (before found the work-around), but it's been marked as a "dupe" of another, https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4211442.  So who knows which they will pay attention to, if any. 😞
