****Issues with DaVinci Resolve - cannot open FCP XML Files/ HELP NEEDED ASAP

I have a colorist completing my video in davinci resolve (latest version 10.xxx) and for some reason, he cannot open my XML files I sent him. Im running the latest version of FCP (10.6)


Here is the error message he is receiving


Error

Davinci Resolve supports Final Cut pro x XML 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8



Is there Any way I can get my current FCP version to make an XML in 1.8?


*My only options are current version (1.10) or previous (1.9)



Would I need to change the metadata view to something special in order to accommodate / create 1.8 compatible XML file, etc??



Currently - my Metadata View is set as" general “ (per attached metadata 1 screenshot), but there are many other metadatview options (per attached metadata 2 screenshot)




Metadata 2 screenshot:







There's got to be a simple workaround to get this resolved- being that we both have the latest versions of platforms...


Any ideas??


Let me know.


Thanks!


Mac Pro, macOS 12.0

Strange! I have done a further test with FCP 10.5.4 by exporting a "normal" project as XML 1.8 and DVR refuses to accept it.


If anyone wants to check it out in case I am wrong, DaVinci Resolve is completely free to download and keep.
