Policy Install Error The category is already set in another filter

[rmc_anx]

When pushing a policy package from the FortiManager we sometimes see the error:

Compiling policy(seq 4, id 3) fail: The category is already set in another filter.

and the push will fail.  I get that this error has to do with the web filter most likely but it is not descriptive enough since it doesn't tell me the category or the filter it thinks it is conflicting with.

Are there are good tricks or work arounds to troubleshoot what is happening when this error occurs?

pls first find this policy (seq 4, id 3) used webfilter profile and then print db config by "exec fmpolicy print-adom-object", CLI has help by ? and then check if CLI config is OK

Thanks

Simon, thanks for the info.  The output from the command is copied below.  The only really odd this that jump out at me is at the bottom:  

edit 72 set action block next

There is no category like the rest of the items.

Manager is 5.2.0 and the device is running 5.2.1.

[scao_FTNT]

I found a similar issue reported in FMG 5.2.0 and we have removed this check from FMG 5.2.1

Thanks
