Seems to have popped up in the past few weeks.
By uninstalling the above version and install 1.19.1 (https://www.mendeley.com/autoupdates/installers/1.19.1), the error does not occur.
Taken from advice in link below.

The instructions are:
"... turned on field code by pressing alt+F9. I found this bit of code: "{ ADDIN }" appended to the end of the field code for my embedded graph. Once I deleted that item the document became functional again. I just replicated the same fix in a backup version of the file I had made, it really is just that piece of code.
It looks like there are other pieces of code containing "ADDIN", based on a ctl+f search, one for each of my citations. But this { ADDIN } was the only one that was sitting alone, with nothing else in its curly braces.
So here are the steps:
1) Hit ALT+F9
2) Search for ADDIN (I didn't get a result for { ADDIN, only the letters themselves worked)
3) Delete the search result that is { ADDIN } alone
4) Try to refresh your bibliography to see if it's fixed!"
