  • What causes this issue?

    The context node is a multiple node in a configuration controller.

    System Response

    Each multiple context node in the configuration controller should have a
    primary attribute. This is similar to a key in a database table. In the
    configuration you must ensure that the content of the primary attribute
    is unique. Otherwise the merge algorithm for Customizing will not work
    with this configuration. Besides this, elements cannot be deleted.

    How to fix this error?

    If you have already declared a primary attribute, activate the checkbox
    Primary Attribute, or else create a new one that can be used as the
    primary attribute.

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