Specifically, it states that the data type is a text data type for a given object type, node, and field.

  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incompatible Data Type: The field in question is defined as a text data type, which may not be compatible with the expected data type for the operation being performed.
  Model Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the object model or the metadata definition, leading to inconsistencies in how data types are defined.

  Adjust Data Types:
  
  If the field is indeed supposed to be a text data type, ensure that any operations or queries that involve this field are designed to handle text data types.
  If the field should not be a text data type, consider changing its definition in the underlying data source or object model.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
