The generator found no control in this panel with a label it could read from the source. See the summary in manual/03-reference/panels/README.md.

Read straight from the data behind the panel, not from a hand-written list.

The application checks these before a run and reports them in the Problems tab against this step.

Severity Message
error Cell zones and multi-region cases are not part of the … tier. Remove them, or upgrade.
error The mesh moves, so the case cannot be solved steady-state - a steady solver never updates the mesh. Set the time dependency to Transient.
error Overset is enabled, but OpenFOAM has no overset build of …. Remove the overset zone or choose an analysis type that has one.

marks a value the application computes at run time, so the source carries no fixed text for it.
