    How to fix this error?

    In 'PC mode', you can only call methods that do not require import
    parameters.

    <PF>Personal Settings</> and switch to 'traditional mode'. In this mode
    you can edit the condition by entering text directly. Enter the method

    parameters. Once the expression is complete and syntactically correct
    you can switch back to 'PC mode'.
