"Residence: Required information is missing."
I realize that the error messages have to cover many possible problems: each message has to be generic rather than specific. When a profile has dozens of sources, it's difficult to determine which one (or several) the error message may refer to.
After the user has reviewed and corrected the reported errors, would it be feasible to run a system re-check on those profiles to ensure the tree is as clean as possible?
Thanks.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile as always, thank you for your insight and comments. Will you please post a screenshot of this error message and tell us what you were doing at the time you received the error? I am assuming that you were using SourceLinker since you are referring to sources, but please verity.
I will separate this post into 2 different discussions because I understand it is 2 different issues. The request for a "system recheck" will be:

I'm unclear on why you felt this needed to be separated into 2 posts.
The message is on every profile that the GEDCOM did not parse correctly.
It doesn't tell us specifically which item needs fixing. We can review a profile in detail and still not catch or know what the algorithm refers to.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile I separated the error message with the request to be able to run a system "recheck" after imported tree differences have been resolved. This will help the engineering team to address each request/issue separately. Thank you for all of your time and effort testing CET for us. All user feedback is valuable to us and we don't want any issues/suggestions/requests to be overlooked because it is combined in a discussion with another.

@Áine Ní Donnghaile This is a known issue regarding vague messaging. The Engineers are aware and are working on this. Below is the response given by @Robert Kehrer in the other discussion. I am including it here for continuity.
Again, thank you for testing CET for us. As always, feedback is an important step in the development process.
