Why is there an error beside certain property chips when I run my block?

Answer:

Sometimes, when you run a block and open up the Info panel, there are red error markings beside certain property chips. This error is alerting you that the property is empty and won't have any output. If you were to use that property chip, the error would come with it and there would be no output.

For example, a Topology Optimization block doesn't have an associated temperature, therefore, the temperature property chip that builds with the block is empty and gives you the error: Incorrect units to use property.

Sometimes blocks have a placeholder property chip even though they don't have associated values for that property. This image shows how the temperature property chip of a Topology Optimization yields the incorrect units to use property error. This is because Topology Optimizations don't use temperature values.
