Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to Manage Business Configuration.

  1. The "Synchronize Business Configuration" job needs to be triggered:
    - From the 1H 2023 Release this can be triggered via Scheduled Job Manager in the Admin Center.

    - Alternatively this can be done from Provisioning -> Go to Manage Scheduled Jobs and look for the "Synchronize Business Configuration" Job, then under Actions tab, click the Select drop-down and choose 'Run It Now'.
  2. Run the job "MDF Object Definition to DB Sync"(Refer KBA 2534674 - How To Fix Inconsistencies In Metadata Framework (MDF)).
