We are migrating to Sitecore 10.1 (Full Azure Paas), we have added a new publishing target following this documentation (link).
All databases were created using ARM template, we have a blue/green setup.
We are not able to publish or browse the secondary publishing target via CMS.We get the same issue also when trying to run Indexes or use dbBrowser on that DB. Note that Core, Master and Web work perfectly fine.
Here an error example when trying to switch view to the staging database from desktop:
