The field 'format' does not exist or is not annotated with @RuleProperty

Hi Team,

We recently upgraded our testing instance from v6.7.7 to v7.9.4 . During the analysis/build we receiving the below error. [All plugins updated to latest version]

Anyone faced this kind of issue?

Hi All, I am also facing this issue. Can someone assist on this?

Unfortunately we failed to find the cause for this failure.

Since no one commented here since a while I close the thread.
Please open a new one if you face the same problem.
