Error with staff states and statistics collector

[ FlexSim 23.2.3 ]

What causes this error, when running my HC simulation?
exception: FlexScript exception: MODEL:/Tools/PeopleTables/StaffStates>stats/statisticsCollector/StatisticsCollector>stats/liveColumns/Idle/valueNode

The error is caused by the "Statistics" node being higher up in the tree than the "PeopleTables" node. When new staff is added to the model (which happens on every reset because staff members get deleted and created by the parameter table) one or more statistics chart tries to read data for those from the tables the HC environment keeps in the background for staff (as well as locations/equipment/...). If the "PeopleTables" node is farther down it has not been updated yet and as a result there is an error when trying to read data.

In short: Move the "PeopleTables" node to be above the "Statistics" node in the tree.

We've sent this into the developer team so that can consider fixing it. Thanks for drawing our attention to it. And thanks @Felix Möhlmann for identifying the workaround.
