• Message text: Value &1 has no subordinate values

What causes this issue?

You can set up a value hierarchy to structure your values (for example,
the value 'EUROPE' with subordinate values 'SPAIN', 'ITALY', and so
on). EUROPE is a value node with subordinate values.
In object dependencies, value nodes represent a value set of several
individual values. You can use a value node in expressions such as:
COUNTRY IN 'EUROPE'
However, the value you selected is not a value node, because no
subordinate values are maintained.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

COUNTRY = 'Germany'

COUNTRY IN 'Germany'
