What causes this issue?

Characteristic &V1& has been assigned to characteristic &V2& in the
process instruction and is thus marked as an output value.
The following characteristic values can be displayed in the PI sheet:
In process data requests, the default values of those message
characteristics that are marked as input values in the process
instruction
In process data requests and calculation formulas, the values of all
other message characteristics assigned to the process instruction
However, characteristic &V1& has not been assigned as a message
characteristic to the process instruction or has been defined as an
input value without a default value.
For this reason, no value can be displayed for characteristic &V1&.

Check whether you can use a variable to insert the desired value from a
preceding process instruction.
Define the variable as an output value if required.
To do so, use characteristic PPPI_OUTPUT_VARIABLE instead of
characteristic &V2&.
