  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to the following reasons:
  
  Field Restrictions: The field in question (indicated by &1) in the specified table (indicated by &2) does not allow the use of a priority flag. This could be due to the field's data type or the specific configuration of the table.
  Data Mapping Issues: During the data migration process, there may be an attempt to set a priority flag on a field that is not designed to accept it.
  Configuration Errors: The configuration settings for the migration or conversion process may not align with the requirements of the target system or table structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Migration Settings: Check the settings of the migration tool or program you are using. Ensure that the configuration does not include unnecessary flags or settings for fields that do not support them.
