This error indicates that an attempt was made to save an empty string as additional data, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Data Entry Issue: The most common cause is that a field that is expected to contain data is left empty. This could be due to user error during data entry or a failure in data extraction from another system.
  Configuration Issue: There may be a configuration issue in the ACR settings or the specific report being generated, leading to the system trying to save an empty value.
