How to fix it

  1. 1

    Use filename and fieldName to identify the recommendation and check its meaning in the specification.

  2. 2

    Add the column and accurate values when available. Do not populate invented defaults merely to remove the warning.

  3. 3
    Check the result

    After a repair, rebuild the archive and validate it again. Confirm that the affected records are correct and that no new related notices appeared. A reviewed warning or informational notice may remain when it describes intentional, supported data.
