Logical standby fails with ORA-026786 after upgrade from 11.2.0.4 to 12.2.0.1.180717.
It happened at two different systems in one week - each time on different tables.

SELECT * FROM (SELECT To_Char(event_time,'DD-MM-YYYY hh24:mi') "TIME",EVENT,status FROM dba_logstdby_events ORDER BY event_time DESC) WHERE ROWNUM < 2 ;

       TIME                                 EVENT                                                              STATUS
----------------       ------------------------------------------------         ----------------------------------------
01-11-2018 10:24 update "<owner name>"."<table name>"           ORA-26786: A row with key ("K1") = (<value>) exists but has conflicting 
                           set "C1" = '<value 1>',                                       column(s) "<column name>" in table <owner name>.<table name>
                           "<C2>" = '<value 2>', 
                           "<C3&parent=EXTERNAL_SEARCH" rel="nofollow" = '<value 3>',
                           "<C4>" = '<value 4>'
                           where
                          ..........
                           and
                           ROWID = 'AAAdd+AAhAAAA/ZAAC'/* ROWID
                           refers to the ROWID at the source database */

Common part is that SQL Apply is checking for "null" value in column which have "not null" constraint.
In the example above in "where" clause you have condition "<column name>" IS NULL, but this column does not allow null values.

The issue happens again even after rebuilding the logical standby database.
