Cause
=====

Under the GroupNode, the StaticProperty values are missing, causing the "Standard" to not be defined.


Resolution
==========

The corrected custom parsers and template will be shipped with the next release or hotfix package (following EDI 2.8.0).


Workaround
==========

Define "Standard" in your custom parser schema, and populate Standard to "TEXT".

1. add one LeafField under GroupNode
2. name it 'Standard'
3. assigned the value of 'Standard' to 'TEXT'
  KeyField: True
  KeyValue: TEXT
  KeyName: Standard
  (leave Lookup and Property to False)
