Lookup Control Error, editing xml does not show any changes when importing

Hi, 

I really appreciate your time for reading this. This is an issue regarding the lookup control error: Cannot add item of typename= to the lookup control. I know there are many questions about this.

I have already tried to solve this by creating a new solution and adding the field with the issue, in this case is From field from Email entity. Now, when I export it and open the customizations.xml I see that the <LookupTypes /> line is empty. When I add the following and save and then import, the error remains.

<LookupTypes>
<LookupType id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000">8</LookupType>
<LookupType id="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000">2020</LookupType>
</LookupTypes>

When I export the previous solution and open the customizations.xml I notice that the xml is like the first one that I exported; that is, like if no modification had been carried out. So, I would like to know if am I missing something when reimporting the solution.

I would really appreciate any comment regarding a solution for this. Thank you!
