Specifically, it states that only the characters 'A-Z', '0-9', '_', and '-' are allowed for the node ID. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a node in a hierarchical structure, such as a transport request, a project structure, or a similar entity.
  Cause:

  If the node ID contains any other characters (such as lowercase letters, spaces, special characters, etc.), the system will reject it and throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Check the Node ID: Review the node ID you are trying to use and ensure it only contains the allowed characters (A-Z, 0-9, _, -).
  Modify the Node ID: If the node ID contains invalid characters, modify it to conform to the allowed character set. For example, if your node ID is "Node 1", change it to "Node_1" or "Node-1".
  Re-attempt the Operation: After correcting the node ID, try to perform the operation again (e.g., creating or modifying the node).
