System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Delete the version of the benchmark.
The system deletes straight away any versions that have no reference to
the history of a composite benchmark or an assignment variant.
It deletes versions that do have a reference only once you have entered
a reason. These versions are then flagged as invalid. You can still
display them in the change history of the higher-level composite
benchmark or assignment variant.
