Duplicating a view with an exposed form as data export causes issues

I had duplicated the view form an existing view (that has an exposed form) as a data export. When I try to use VDE (CSV button) on that view, I get this:

Create a view of taxonomy data with an exposed filter.
Duplicate view for views_data_export
Try exporting the data
Error:

Error: Call to a member function preExecute() on null in Drupal\views\Plugin\views\display\DisplayPluginBase->preExecute() (line 2272 

The code it fails on is

    if ($this->usesExposed()) {
      /** @var \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\exposed_form\ExposedFormPluginInterface $exposed_form */
      $exposed_form = $this->getPlugin('exposed_form');
      $exposed_form->preExecute();
    }

I then did #10 and now it works fine.

    I tested this today on a fresh Drupal 10.3.x, umami install. I installed views_data_export, made the view and exposed the 'published' filter, tested, duplicated the view and tested again. In all cases this worked without error.

    This still needs steps to reproduce. I am keeping the status at Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    I've also been able to replicate by changing an exported data export display exposed form to `exposed_form: false` following #10

    And then reimporting config, the RestExport::usesExposed class that DataExport class inherits always returns true and so when an exposed form is not present it throws error.

    I was not able to replicate through the UI but just through manual manipulation of the configuration.
