• Message class: CRM_MKTTG_DS_MISC - CRM Marketing: Messages Application Log

• Message number: 045

• Message text: The attributes for dependent filters have been maintained

What causes this issue?

You must ensure that dependent filters can be processed in the data
reading program. If you specify the behavior for dependent filters
within an attribute as <ZK>And</> or<ZK> Or</>, the data reading program
must link the dependent filter values with <ZK>And </> or <ZK>Or </>.
The same applies for the cross-attribute behavior. If you are unsure
whether the data reading program can process dependent filters, leave
this field blank. In this case, the filters are transferred to the data
reading program individually and the results are then linked in the
Segment Builder.
