What causes this issue?

You have tried to create a variant for a two-level content model (&v4&
).

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Procedure for System Administrators

Either an error has occurred in the application program, or the content
model was created incorrectly.
If the former, notify the programmer responsible. If the latter has
occurred, you need to adjust the content model. To do this, set the
attribute SRM_CONT_TYPE of the LOIO class &v4& to "3" (for a
three-level content model).
