This error typically arises when you are trying to make modifications to a data model or structure that includes custom fields, and the system is preventing you from doing so to maintain data integrity.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Incompatible Changes: You are attempting to make changes to a data structure that is incompatible with existing custom fields. This could be due to changes in the underlying data model, such as removing or renaming fields.
