# Item linking errors
n8n displays errors related to data mapping when there are problems tracing an item's linked parent items back through the workflow.
## Errors when pinning data
If you see this error message:
> ERROR: '`<node-name>`' must be unpinned to execute
Unpin the data in the named node, and execute the node to get fresh data.
This error has two possible causes:
* The number of inputs into the pinned node has changed since you pinned it.
* You've edited the pinned data and changed the number of items.
## Errors when using the Code node
If you see this error message:
> ERROR: Can't get data for expression under '`<field-name>`' field
You need to supply item linking information yourself, because you have an item linking scenario that n8n can't automatically handle. Refer to [Item linking concepts](/data/data-mapping/data-item-linking/item-linking-concepts/) for a conceptual understanding of item linking, and [Manage item linking in the Code node](/data/data-mapping/data-item-linking/item-linking-code-node/) for detailed guidance on handling item linking.
