⚠️ Error Message
Link between ... and ... has invalid state
📌 Causes
This error occurs because:
➡️ Meta-data between assemblies is not synchronized
It means:
- Field structure (name, quantity, data type) from the previous assembly
- Incompatible with the following assembly
🧠 Case Example
For example:
Transformer_1 produces:
video_id, title, views (Integer)
But Filter_1 or Transformer_2 expects:
video_id, title, views (String)
➡️ Then an error will appear:
Link between Transformator_1 and Filter_1 has invalid state
🎯 Common Causes
- Add/remove fields but don't propagate
- Changing data type (String → Integer)
- Deleting the link then not resyncing
- Copy workflow but metadata not updated
✅ Solution (Most Important)
🔧 Use the ☑ button (Propagate Meta-data)
Steps:
- Click on the assembly that has the error
- Click the ☑ (Propagate Meta-data) icon in the toolbar

- Go to the next assembly
- Repeat until the ☑ button is disabled.
