Pages Data Merge Error -1743

Kept getting an error -1743 "Not authorized to send Apple events to finder" when trying to run "Pages Data Merge" on my new iMac w/Monterey 12.0.1. It always worked fine on my old 2016 iMac. to fix, I needed to go to System Preferences/Security&Privacy/Full Disk Access and add(+) "Pages Data Merge " which I had downloaded and running. I then added Pages ,Numbers, and Script Editor (since I think Pages Data Merge is a Script Editor compilation app). After doing that, I did the same for "Files and Folders" (They may have already been added by the previous action). Finally after doing that went down to Automation and checked the "Finder" box which got "Pages data Merge" working as on my old iMac. Note: Initially, I had to go into System Preferences/Security&Privacy to override and authorize the downloaded "Pages Data Merge" before getting it to load and run.

iMac 24″, macOS 12.0
