3305010 - Node &1: Status for selected mapping procedure not allowed

In Configuration activity Map Format Data for Payments  (ID 100558 ) Error Node &1: Status for selected mapping procedure not allowed raised

1. In Configuration activity Map Format Data for Payments (ID: 100558) open custom format mapping and click on Edit button.
2. Click on Check or Release 

Extended syntax check implemented from release 2302 prevents customers from defining a format mapping with a configuration that could potentially lead to inconsistencies in the future.

The combination of node with mapping procedure "No mapping" and "optional" status does not make sense, because below such a node other nodes have to exist.  Hence, it will never be empty.

This is not a regression issue, because it does not affect the runtime of the format mapping in any way. Meaning: if you generate the payment file now it will look exactly the same as before upgrade on all systems (D/Q/P). You are only asked to correct the inconsistency when you are actually in need of format mapping customization - e.g.: when you receive new requirement from your bank.

In Configuration activity Map Format Data for Payments for affected format mappings change the Status of nodes listed in the log from "Optional" to "Standard".
