  • What causes this issue?

    For the current variable, you have changed one of the key properties -
    the characteristic, the replacement type, the hierarchy, or other ones.
    As a rule this leads to variable values, which have already been
    defined, not matching the current settings. If, for example, you
    convert the replacement type from "user-specific values" to "fixed
    values", all selection conditions are deleted for individual users, as
    according to the new replacement type, you can no longer differentiate
    by users.

    System Response

    Variable values which are already defined are deleted.

    How to fix this error?

    Proceed as follows:
    Enter new variable values for the changed settings.
    If you reverse the changes and want to return to the old settings, then
    end the planning session without saving. Though here you lose all
    changes which you have made during the planning session
