  • What causes this issue?

    You are editing a text ID which does not have a name which corresponds
    to the name range defined by SAP. Text IDs from the SAP standard
    version, partner projects, and customer-specific IDs must have separate
    name ranges to avoid data loss during release upgrades.
    The initial letters Y and Z are reserved for customer text IDs, the
    intial letters JNC (N is a digit from 1 to 9, C a letter from A to Z)
    for text IDs in partner projects.
