related to #44623; I'll take a look but please @bonanomi do too

[bonanomi]

Hi @vlimant , I did a comparison between the code I pushed and the one I ran locally (successfully) and I did not spot any difference.
I am also puzzled by Looking for module label: finalGenParticles, since this is already defined in PhysicsTools/NanoAOD/python/genparticles_cff.py

[vlimant]

seems to make it work, as a hack ; i.e removing genIso when NANOGEN is ran (BTW https://gitlab.cern.ch/cms-nanoAOD/xpog-coordination/-/issues/78)

[vlimant]

maybe there is something more intelligent to do though : if you can think of something @bonanomi please do.
otherwise please make a 14.1 PR and include the same "fix" in #44654 (so that we do not brake 14.0)

[hqucms]

@bonanomi @namapane Could you please implement the fix for both master and the 14_0_X backport #44654?

[namapane]

@hqucms I'm going to check for a more intelligent solution as metioned by @vlimant, but it will take a moment to test. If this is critical we could go for the simple solution proposed above (skip the module in NANOGEN). Please let me know.

[hqucms]

I think it's better to put the simple fix first, then you can always update it with a better solution later :)

Done in #44709.
Backport PR #44654 also updated.
