  Remove Wildcards: Go to the migration step indicated in the error message (step &1) and check the restrictions applied. Remove any wildcard characters from the relationship ID field.
  Specify Exact Relationship IDs: Ensure that you are using specific relationship IDs that are valid in the context of the migration. Refer to the documentation or data model to find the correct IDs.
  Review Migration Settings: Check the overall migration settings and mappings to ensure that all fields are correctly configured and that no wildcards are being used where they shouldn't be.
