There was a topic just within last two days with exactly same problem and solution to it.
Did you try search feature of the forum?

I did and did not find any. but I did search and file a github item and found the solution there.

I fixed my local instance in the mean time…

line 41

Go to (and your path will vary depending on your os and installation type) but the key file is GenericFunctions.js

node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-nodes-base/dist/nodes/LinkedIn/GenericFunctions.js

now update LN 41 to look like this…
LinkedIn-Version": "202504

I did now just find the post you may be refering to and posted my above temp fix there too. Thanks!
