Critical Error when Plugin in Activated

[cwssysadmin]

When entering the settings of an existing form after activating this plugin, I'm getting a critical error. The WP audit log shows the following ...

Stack trace:
#0 /www/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(326): GFCiviCRM\compose_merge_tags()

Any clues as to how to remedy this? Issue is with plugin version 1.7.0.

A further update.

Downgrading the plugin to version 1.6.2 allows access to the form settings without a critical error.

Now I need to perform tests to see if this will work.

@cwssysadmin What is the Critical Error?

Also just noting that the function won't work with PHP < 7.1 (although surely you're using at least 8.1, right?) ... everything else that can go wrong inside there should be caught inside of the function.

Just noting that in this case, the OP was installing this GF CiviCRM plugin on a site which did not have CiviCRM installed.
