Cause

This is a known issue in case of complete business objects. If there is a data issue in one of the subnodes, it fails to identify which record in the sub node has the error. The error message in this case is not specific.

If all data validation is done before submitting the task, this will give specific error message upfront rather that having error at the end when task is finished.

Resolution

We are already working internally to address the issue. As a workaround, you can do data validation for all data (by default it is sample data of 20 records) feature on file upload screen before submitting the record. This will give the error in format validation.
