• Issue is caused due to job relationships in the position are swapped using arrow marks which results in swap of external code of one matrix relationship to another.
• This is not a supported use case as the external code is a key field and cannot be swapped.

• Reject/decline the current workflow.
• Go to the relevant position and modify the external code of the matrix relationship by either deleting or changing it, instead of swapping.
