Digital Filter Design block error, filter not valid, please redesign.

I am using MATLAB R2025b and trying to design FIR filters using window function in Simulink using the Digital Filter Design Block, when I run the model it gives an error message box saying: "fliiter design is not valid. please redesign". I tried generating MATLAB code of the block and the code runs with no errors.
parameters I used:
low pass filter
rectangular window
order = 50
Fs = 48000 Hz
Fc = 10800 Hz

What Response Type and what Design Method did you specify ?

response type: Lowpass

design method: FIR (Window)

In my testing, I could not replicate the problem.
Could you perhaps attach your model for testing?
This is the model, I'm building FIR low pass filters using different window functions and all of them give the same error message.
Hmmm, I don't know.
I went into the block and commented out all of the filter types except for one. I then played with the filter settings. As long as the setting was Window, the details of the Scaled windowing made a difference. Most of the settings generated that error, but a couple of them did not generate any error. I added a scope block at the top level, and I observed that valid-looking signals were generated whether or not the error message was generated.
Oh, the output does look valid regardless of the message, thank you for your assistance.
Hi Ahmed,
Seeing the discussion above and getting the same error while trying with R2025a, I think the error can be ignored.
You can also report it as a bug at https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/

The error stopped showing up after I set a value for the sample time for the sin wave (1/48000 (filter's sample time)) and changed the solver options to:

fixed step discrete fixed step size = 1/48000

I didn't test which solved the error
