 ## Localize error messages used in business rules
 
- If you have more than one language provisioned for your organization, you will want to localize any error messages that you have set. Each time you set a message, a label is generated by the system. If you export the translations in your organization, you can add localized versions of your messages and then import those labels back into the Dataverse, so that people using languages other than your base language can view the translated messages.

 ## Common issues
 
 This section describes common issues that may occur when you use business rules.
 
 ### Composite attributes not supported with Unified Interface apps
 
-Actions or conditions that use [Composite attributes](../../developer/model-driven-apps/clientapi/reference/composite-attributes.md) are not supported in apps based on the Unified Interface.  Alternatively, you can use actions or conditions on the attributes that comprise the composite attributes. For example, instead of using the **Full Name** (fullname) attribute, you can use the **First Name** (firstname) and **Last Name** (lastname) attributes.

 ### Is your business rule not firing for a form?
 
 A business rule may not execute because the field referenced in the business rule isn’t included with the form. 
 1.	Open [solution explorer](../model-driven-apps/advanced-navigation.md#solution-explorer). Expand the entity that you want and then select **Forms**. 
 2.	Open the form that you want and then on the form designer ribbon select **Business Rules**. 
 3.	In the form designer, open the business rule.
