RF_002: Placeholder or dummy value

Pre-submission warning

What triggers it

A text cell holds n/a, none, TBD, test, dummy, a row of x's or zeros, or similar. The ESAs' 2026 content review flags placeholder values even when the file is accepted.

How to fix it

Replace with the real value. Where the ITS allows omission, leave the cell empty instead (except in key columns).
