What causes this issue?

You tried to move the "Valid From" date of the change master record into
the past (compared to the current "Valid From" date of the change master
record).
This is not possible, because consistency cannot be ensured for the
characteristic &V1&.
This is because this would lead to a time gap in the validity of parts
of the definition of the characteristic &V1& if you made this change.
If class type and class are specified below, this message refers to an
overwrite of the characteristic &V1& there:
Class type &V3&, class &V4&.

System Response

The system generates a message log listing the change objects that do
not allow a date change.

How to fix this error?
