ChangedBy Value cannot be empty when BypassRules is specified?

[soodgautam]

I keep running into this error.

---> (Inner Exception #0) Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.UnexpectedErrorException: There is a problem on the server. Contact your Azure DevOps Server administrator. ---> System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: VS403417: ChangedBy value cannot be empty when BypassRules is specified.

I've added a enricher in my work item migration processor but its still breaking on the same work item every time I run the migration.
Attached my config file below.

configuration.json

There is not even remotely enough information here for me to help. This may be a known problem with the API, but I don't know without the logs at lease.

Part of log with issue. If it is needed, I can send the full log through a private channel
