OpenRefine Warning Message: Import does not specify an DateLastPackageIssue column

Full text of error

DateLastPackageIssue Import does not specify an DateLastPackageIssue column

Description

The publication date of the last/latest issue for a journal publication within the package. If all of DateLastPackageIssue, VolumeLastPackageIssue and NumberLastPackageIssue are blank, it is assumed that the package includes ‘up to the current issue. This column is not required, but it is highly desirable that it be added if the information is available. Note: Many files contain this information, but it may be named something like "date_last_issue_online" or "ft_end_date". Look for columns with dates or years.
