  The SAP error message /BOFU/FBI_DT_VIEW062 typically indicates an issue related to the output binding for a UI structure attribute in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications. This error occurs when there is a conflict or duplication in the output binding configuration for a specific attribute in the UI structure.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Output Binding: The error suggests that there is already an existing output binding for the specified UI structure attribute (indicated by &1 and &2 placeholders). This means that the system has detected multiple entries for the same attribute, which leads to ambiguity in how the data should be displayed or processed.

  Solution:
  
  Check Output Bindings: Review the output bindings for the UI structure in the relevant configuration settings. Ensure that there are no duplicate entries for the same attribute. If duplicates are found, remove or consolidate them.
  Update Configuration: If the configuration is incorrect, update it to reflect the correct output bindings. This may involve modifying the OVS settings or the UI structure definition.
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache of the application or the browser can help resolve issues related to outdated configurations.
  Test Changes: After making changes, test the application to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the UI behaves as expected.
