What causes this issue?

You want to change a status. Settings in Customizing (Document
management -> Control data -> Document status) define that the system
sets the <ZH>Released indicator</> for this combination of document
status and document type.
As the document is part of a hierarchy, the system checks whether the
current status of subordinate documents have this indicator, too.
As this is not the case, the system issues a warning message.

Check whether you need to set the status at this point in time. Check
the status of the subordinate documents if required.
