What causes this issue?

It is not possible to insert an entity at the position you selected in
the hierarchy. This can be due to one of the following reasons:
You want to move an entity in the hierarchy. The higher-level node of
the original position in the hierarchy is in change request &V1&, but
the higher-level node of the new position in the hierarchy is in change
request &V2&. It is therefore not possible to move the entity.
You want to insert an entity in the hierarchy. However, the entity is
already assigned to change request &V1& as a higher-level node, but the
higher-level node of the place of insertion is assigned to change
request &V2&. It is therefore not possible to insert an entity in the
hierarchy at this position.

System Response

The entity is not moved / inserted.

How to fix this error?
