What causes this issue?

Task '&V1&' is not in scope and should be skipped, but the task declares
itself as "mandatory to be executed". This may happen in one of the
following cases:
A task list run is created from a task list variant and the variant
declared that the task should be skipped (e.g. the variant has been
created in a different system and is transported to the current system).
During a task list run execution the task implementation has changed
from "optional" or "skipped" to "mandatory".
