Issue with ExponentialDecayPermeability and ConstantPermeability Casting in GEOSX

[alqadran]

I'm encountering a casting error when integrating ExponentialDecayPermeability, suggesting an unexpected type mismatch with ConstantPermeability. The error occurs not due to solver choice but seems related to how ExponentialDecayPermeability is integrated and recognized within the framework. I have used the following example from GEOSX documentation:
https://geosx-geosx.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/docs-jhuang-updatehfexamples/docs/sphinx/advancedExamples/validationStudies/faultMechanics/faultVerification/Example.html

Just changed the permeability type from Constant permeability to ExponentialDecayPermeability

***** ERROR
***** LOCATION: /home1/alqadran/geostest/GEOS/src/coreComponents/common/DataTypes.hpp:100
***** Controlling expression (should be false): ptr == nullptr
***** Rank 0: Cast from geos::constitutive::ExponentialDecayPermeability to geos::constitutive::ConstantPermeability failed.

Has anyone faced a similar issue or can offer guidance on correctly configuring ExponentialDecayPermeability for use in poromechanics simulations?

Thanks
