Is it possible to create morphs for HD characters?

I am trying to create a corrective morph for an HD character - Lydia for Victoria 7, https://www.daz3d.com/lydia-hd-for-victoria-7.
The aim is to smooth out some ugly creasing in the mesh caused by a particular pose (within normal rotation limits). This is failing as Morph Loader Pro always complains the geometry doesn't match. Before exporting the figure, I have set mesh resolution to 0, and SubD iterations to 0 as well. I have also searched for 'Currently Used' parameters with 'HD' in the name and set all of these to zero. The number of verts in DS is the same as it is in Blender and again back in DS (I note that it is a little more than the standard G3F count of 17,418, but they do match). Even a basic test - just moving one vertex - fails.
What else do I need to do to get this to work, or is it not possible? I could put a base G3F in the same pose and morph that but the pose doesn't produce quite the same distortion, so the fix won't be quite right.

Are you sure there are no attachments to the figure?
I know this doesn't answer your question, but have you tried something like these two products?

I own them both and I have to say, they do come in mighty handy for bendy poses.
No separate eyelashes if that's what you mean. i did have a geograft attached initially, but removing that was the first thing I did, with the intention of reattaching after creating the morph. Same problem with the character sans geograft.
However, from what you say, this should not be impossible in principle for an HD character, so I'm not completely wasting time and effort trying to do it?
Thanks. I'm not a big fan of products like this tbh as in my experience they never quite deal with the problem I actually have. I find a morph tailored to fixing the issue works better, and I'm OK with making them usually. Just this HD figure is causing me grief. Nonetheless, I might be interested in the natural bend morphs if they were heavily discounted.
