Getting TF200014: The following node does not exist: \ZZ - Test\Area. Verify that the path of the node is correct.

Trying to get a run. Using version 16.0.3.

I am getting Getting TF200014: The following node does not exist: \ZZ - Test\Area. Verify that the path of the node is correct.

I want to simple map Cybersecurity Services\Security Engineering too ZZ - Test\Security Engineering migration between collections.

There is a ZZ - Test\Security Engineering Area in Target collection (I created an item using said Area) .

Here is the Node code:
"TfsNodeStructureTool": {
"Enabled": true,
"Areas": {
"Mappings": {
"Cybersecurity Services\\Security Engineering": "ZZ - Test\Security Engineering"
}
},
"Iterations": {
"Filters": [],
"Mappings": {
"^4a05066f-f993-4266-8fb4-1c5e94d834f1([\\]?.)$": "ZZ - Test$1",
"^Cybersecurity Services([\\]?.)$": "ZZ - Test$1"
}
},
"ShouldCreateMissingRevisionPaths": true,
"ReplicateAllExistingNodes": true
},

Any ideas on what silly thing I have wrong? Why is there a \ in front of ZZ - Test in the error message?

I changed the logic slightly to show a better error: #2418

Thanks Martin. The error explanation is much better..... I found the issue. Lesson learned - trust no one. Cut and paste values from DevOps (do not free type in json config) as DevOps values may have hidden characters or spaces that are not obvious in the DevOps font.
