Why is the IDF Editor showing the following Parsing Error related to "Spacelist" object?

Hi,

I know the community has answered some similar questions related to this but I could not find a viable solution as of now - pertaining to this.

When I export the OS Model as IDF, and open it using the IDF Editor, it shows the following prompt at first (see the image). After I click "Ok", this is followed by same pop-up (several times) - for different Spaces, after which the IDF Editor closes. Therefore, not allowing me to edit the IDF.

However, when I run the same model in OS Application, it (EnergyPlus Simulation) runs without any issue till completion.

Can anyone please guide me to sort this out - so that I can happily edit the IDF?
