Database asset warning error in Unity 2020.3.1

I have just updated my project to Unity 2020.3.1 and I am now getting the following warning message when I save a scene in the Unity editor:

Importer(NativeFormatImporter) generated inconsistent result for asset(guid:cbb3e97caa5f9204bab7b64cce4e4576) "Assets/_AA_SYNTY DIALOGUE DATA/Synty Hero Database.asset"

I can't find that particular quid anywhere in my database and wondered if you could give me a hint as to where else to look for a way to fix this.

Hi,

This is a bug in Unity, but it's recoverable. The Issue Tracker item doesn't list all of the Unity versions that are affected, only the versions that they've bothered to officially reproduce it on.

Your database should be fine.

However, if you want to make sure your database is in perfect shape, you can use these steps:

1. Back up your project and/or database.

2. Open your database in the Dialogue Editor. On the Database page, export it to Chat Mapper XML format. You don't need Chat Mapper; we're just using their XML format here.

3. Use the Chat Mapper Importer to import the XML back into a new database.

Then look over your database to double check that everything is exactly as you intend.
