Update to 4.1 fails

Hi,
being very cautious I started updating to 4.1 on a fresh staging site running Wordpress 5.5.1 and with all non-MWP plugins deactivated.
I started with just updating the Dashboard plugin to 4.1.1 and Wordpress crashed with the following error message:
When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.5.1
Current theme: Twenty Nineteen (version 1.7)
Current plugin: MainWP Custom Dashboard Extension (version 4.0)
PHP version 7.4.10

An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 7 of the file /home/huggenbe/www/mwp/staging/wp-content/plugins/mainwp-custom-dashboard-extension/class/mainwp-custom-dashboard.class.php(60) : eval()'d code.

After deactivating the MainWP Custom Dashboard Extension on the server, the site is running again.

I’ve found this thread: MainWP Custom Dashboard Extension (version 4.0) crashed site after 4.1 update
and would like to know if manipulating the database is the only way to be able to use the extension further?

I identified the field via phpmyadmin but don’t know which part of the code I should delete.

defined( 'ABSPATH' ) or die( 'No script kiddies please!' );
add_filter( 'mainwp_header_right', 'quick_form_in_admin_bar2', 10, 3 );

function quick_form_in_admin_bar2($string) {

// SITE SELECTION
$sql		 = MainWP_DB::Instance()->getSQLWebsitesForCurrentUser();
$websites	 = MainWP_DB::Instance()->query( $sql );
@MainWP_DB::data_seek( $websites, 0 );

// BUILD ADMIN URL
$admin_url = esc_url( admin_url() ) . \'admin.php?page=\'; 

$html = '

					$html .= \'

return $string. $html;
