Welcome aboard.

The Lookup stage (on which you received this message) is being serviced by a reference input link on the other end of which is a Lookup File Set stage.

When the Lookup File Set stage was populated, its key was defined.

You are "locked in" to using this key - the Lookup stage will not let you attempt anything that might vary it. Hence the message you received.

You must match the key column name(s) and data type(s) on the stream input to the Lookup stage. If you have a mismatch, insert a Copy stage upstream of the Lookup stage to effect the name change.
