Explanation of the error:
This Salesforce error that Gearset is surfacing is usually encountered when trying to deploy an update to an object related with Master-Detail relationship to another object.
Let's say you have two objects ObjectA and ObjectB and they are related with Master-Detail relationship. ObjectA is the master and ObjectB is the child.
If you only deploy ObjectB, you might see the above error.
Resolution:
To resolve this issue try adding the master-detail lookup field (even if it has not been changed) to your deployment and the error will not occur anymore.
