This error indicates that an attribute is being bound multiple times, which is not allowed.
  Cause:

  Check Attribute Bindings: Review the attribute bindings in the BOPF configuration. Ensure that each attribute is only bound once. Look for any duplicate entries in the binding configuration.
  Correct Configuration: If you find any duplicate bindings, remove or correct them to ensure that each attribute is uniquely bound.
  Review UI Elements: If the error is occurring in a UI context (like Fiori or Web Dynpro), check the UI elements to ensure that they are not trying to bind to the same attribute multiple times.
