that error means already in prod the choice is updated.

Compare and see if you want to keep what is currently in PROD -> if yes then Skip the Remote update

If not then accept

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @lavanyab190 ,

The meaning of this error is that there is new version/updated version of Update set [Means some fileds etc are there]. You can compare both update sets to see what ar ethe differences in both ethe update sets and then accordingly take the necessary action- Accept/reject etc.

Please appreciate my efforts, help and support extended to you by clicking on – “Accept as Solution”; button under my answer. It will motivate me to help others as well.

Hi @lavanyab190,

In that case please compare the Local & Remote update sets, i mean your dev & Prod related changes.
If your changes not in PROD then accept the updates or else reject the updates.
