  Cause
  The error can occur due to several reasons:

  Check for Typos: Ensure that there are no typographical errors in the attribute name in the node profile.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or change logs to understand if there have been recent changes to the data structure or node profiles that could have led to this issue.
