After upgrade, i still can build the project fine, no problem, i can run the application also, no error.
But when i open this "ORMDataModelDPKG.xpo" file, and try to edit it (add new xpobject or field), then try to save, it show error
"Invoke validation method 'ValidateAssociation' failed due to a null reference being accessed."
It is impossible to invoke a validation method 'ValidateAssociation' after updating from 12.2

Just as an alternate workaround, you can upgrade model from database, It
solved my problem, and now I can edit the model without problem.
Anyways, I'll also try your fix once you published.
