What causes this issue?

Characteristic &V1& is compounded with independent characteristics,
which means that a value of the characteristic is only valid in
conjunction with one or more values of the independent characteristics.
Two different situations may currently exist:
The characteristic value you entered is valid - that is, there is a
characteristic value that matches the selection of characteristics.
However, it is not valid in conjunction with the value (or values) of
the independent characteristics.
The characteristic value is invalid - that is, there is no
characteristic value that matches the selection of characteristics. (For
example, maybe you selected a range of characteristics that has no valid
characteristic values and, thus, the range is empty.)
