Repair
How to fix it
- 1
Inspect the exact characters in the reported ID, not just how it looks on screen.
- 2
Remove unintended invisible characters. If replacing an ID with a portable alternative, update every reference consistently; do not remove accented characters from passenger names in response to this ID-specific warning.
- 3Check 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.
