How To Fix BRAIN469 - Proposed values for characteristic &1 match filter

BRAIN469 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 469

• Message text: Proposed values for characteristic &1 match filter

What causes this issue?

The default values for characteristic &V1& match the filter exactly.
These default values are unnecessary, since the query only displays data
that complies with the filter. The default values can be omitted here,
as they are not an additional restriction.
It only makes sense to use a default value if it describes a real part
of the filter.
This default value can lead to unexpected system behavior:
When a view is processed, the variables from the filter are processed,
and the system then attempts to apply the state (the dynamic filter for
example) of the view. The default value from the query definition is
thus ignored. If the default value is specified by a variable, it does
not need to be processed.

System Response

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