    This error means that the NST server built a SQL query with a table column that does not exist in the database, i.e. this is a field which is defined in the NAV table object, but not in the respective SQL table. This can happen if the NAV field is disabled (property enabled = false).
    Error message does not specify the table, so you'll need to search. Try to find any modified tables where the field "Workflow Step ID" is declared, but disabled.
