Cause
There are two possibles causes for this error and both are misconfigurations:

- The SourceFieldName format is incorrect
Resolution
The configuration cannot be set up if the Parent Object isn't defined in the Associations of the Child Object. Please, refer to the following Implementation Guide link on how to setup the configuration:
Job Requisition with HR Master Data - Field Criteria Definition in Job Requisition
The SouceFieldName format needs also be defined correctly in the configuration and for that, you need to follow the table provide inside the link mentioned above. Notice that each Object Type requires a different format. Make sure to double check which are the object types you are using in the relationship.
