Specifically, the error states that there is a problem with the conditions for a node in the DMEE tree structure, where a source field referenced in the conditions does not exist.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Source Field: The source field specified in the condition for the node does not exist in the data structure or is incorrectly referenced.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree might be incorrectly configured, leading to references to fields that are not part of the data structure being processed.

  If the field is supposed to be part of the data structure, check if it has been removed or renamed in the underlying data model.
  
  
  
  Update the DMEE Tree:
  
  If the source field has changed, update the DMEE tree to reflect the current data structure.
  You may need to add the missing field or correct the reference to point to the correct field.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the DMEE output to ensure that the error is resolved and that the output is generated correctly.
