So... just lately, these started cropping up every time I load Genesis 3 Male.

What the heck does this mean and how do I fix it? I thought maybe it was Morpheus, since that's the only character I have installed since this all started (I think); but removing those morphs does not seem to fix the problem.

Have you accidentally moved or delisted a content directory?
Not that I am aware of. I'm pretty static in that regard.
In general, the morphs listed in the error messages work.
Could not find target property for formula
I have the same entries found in the log-file of my Daz3D and spent a little time to understanding the meaning of this.
If you open in DAZ3D a Genesis3 figure how Genesis3Male, Michael 7, etc., various settings are also loaded immediately. Also DAZ3D looks in the folder for the Morphing (/data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Male/Morphs/Male_M3dia/M3D Clayton For Michael 7/…).
If you don't have some files, DAZ3D was looking for, you get an error "WARNING:…; Could not find target property for formula:"
I found out this by the following example and could eliminate 46 errors thus:
2017-07-24 12:04:15.813 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(5767): Could not find target property for formula: chest_2:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Male/Morphs/Male_M3dia/M3D%20Clayton%20For%20Michael%207/chestUpper_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15.dsf#CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15?value in file : /data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%203/Male/Morphs/Male_M3dia/M3D%20Clayton%20For%20Michael%207/pJCMClaytonBodyCollarTwstBendUpChstBendL.dsf
This mean: The file "pJCMClaytonBodyCollarTwstBendUpChstBendL.dsf" (it stands at the end of the line and is always an existing file) refers to the file "chestUpper_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15.dsf" (is not always present and may be supplied with other software packages), where the parameter "CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15?value" is being searched for. But the missing file ("chestUpper_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15.dsf") was located in the same folder.
As I looked with an editor in the file "pJCMClayton… .dsf", I found three blocks with information's about the target files with their parameters:
…
…
…
...
For comparison, I opened this mentioned three files with an editor:
"chestUpper_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15.dsf",
"lCollar_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_30.dsf" and
"lCollar_CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_YRotate_n26.dsf"
There I Found this entries:
In the first file: "output" : "chest_2:#CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15?value",
In the second: "output" : "lCollar:#CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_30?value" and
In the last file: "output" : "lCollar:#CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_YRotate_n26?value"
At no point you will find the entry "CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15?value", or similar, which was thus set clearly wrong by the programmer. In this file, even two errors exist.
Overall, I provided 46 files with an editor with the correct parameters (CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15?value or similar to CTRLMD_CLYCHSTCOLTWTBNDLN_XRotate_15?value or similar, as specified in the target files ) and now the same number of errors less.
Any remaining errors are therefore that the respective files are not present and are supplied with other software packages.
Only with this error, i didn't now, what to do with:
2017-07-24 12:04:15.563 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(1427): Failed to prepare modifier: CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15!
2017-07-24 12:04:15.594 WARNING: fileinput\dzassetdaz.cpp(1438): Failed to create modifier: CTRLMD_N_XRotate_15!
I suspect that was a bad update - some of Male_M3dia's characters had to be updated to use more specific names toa void conflicts with other products using the same name, the old files should have been removed but may have been left if yiu had doen a manual install or had moved the content.
I have been informed by support that they are aware of this issue, with no ETA on a fix. It only occurs when both Growing Up for Gen3 Males and MaleM3dia's Clayton are installed.
I having a similar issue. I'm only just noticed it after installing Dain8. I was happy at first since G8M loaded really fast but then I realised some of my custom morphs had gone. They are where they were on my computer but Daz won't load them.

Others have loaded and work fine. I'm rendering so I don't want to clear my scene and test if loading a different figure works. As an aside, I don't know if it's connected, G3M now takes forever to load when that always loaded quickly.
