Genesis 8 Female -> Missing Files Genesis 3 Starter Essentials

Recently DAZ Studio started to show a missing files message about a missing file whenever I load G8F or G81F into the scene.
I did look in the log file but I could not figure out what's going on.
Could it be related to an asset which I installed recently?
Is it possible to identify the asset without uninstalling them one by one?
Edit: I uninstalled all recent assets and then installed them one by one until I found the culprit.
Apparently the Aging Morphs for Genesis 8 Female(s) are causing this but why?
There is no information on the product page and I could not find anything about it in the forums.
I have the Aging Morphs for males also and those don't have the same problem.

I'm going to assume "Bad Parent data" is the issue, but I need to see your log to confirm it.
The log has hundreds of warnings and errors apparently and I cannot post it. It says "Body is 235531 characters too long" so I deleted most of it:
I quoted your post and was able to see enough to confirm it's bad parent data.
Looks like Zev0 messed up with this product in the same way he messed up "Growing up" for G8F.
Thanks for looking into it. Is this a problem or can I just ignore it?
I also have Growing Up for Genesis 8 Female(s) but it did only show this message after installing the aging morphs.
Maybe some of the errors also come from the growing up morphs, so I will uninstall both and look into the error log again.
Finally I will install them individually to see which one is causing which problems.
Growing up got fixed after I kicked up a stink on the forums about it, it still took a few months for it to get fixed though.
In every Morph DSF file there is a line that tells DS what base figure that morph is meant for (the Parent), if it's the wrong figure then DS adds three error messages to the log and aborts the loading of that DSF file, now as this is a control asset it means that a number of other files are linked to it, and as that file hasn't been loaded it means the other files don't work correctly.
I can see bad parent errors for three files, but can really only identify one of them (data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/Zev0/Aging Morphs 8/abdomenLower_CTRLMD_N_XRotate_n20.dsf).
Best thing to do is report it.
Thanks, I have seen all three errors now and I reported it to Zev
