In the latest version of Illustrator 26.3.1. I am trying to save a variable library and keep getting this error message "The filter cannot complete because of an unknown error"
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue.
When I revert to the older Illustrator version 26.2.1 variable library saves fine no issues.

I'm not sure about this particular issue but the first thing to try is resetting Preferences. Use the Preferences button, or Edit > Preferences > General, or Ctrl/Cmd+K to open the General option in Preferences, click Reset and Restart Illustrator. If this does not help, well then we'll have to search for something else.

If something still works in a previous version I would contact Adobe support:

I imported a .csv file and was able to Save Variable LIbrary to .xml on
Mqc OS 10.15/7 and the latest Ilustrator 26.3.1
Can you try with a simple data file, might be an nonfriendly character in the data like a slash or colon. Just open a.csv in TextEdit and strip out all but a few fields. We will then know if this works on a simple file, or not at all.

But I agree with Anna, resetting Preferences and restarting your machine is the first thing to try.
