• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK278 - Functionality "Add Field automatically" is not allowed for Redirect Views ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK278 indicates that the functionality to "Add Field automatically" is not permitted for Redirect Views in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 applications. This error typically arises when a developer or user attempts to modify a redirect view by adding fields automatically, which is not supported due to the nature of redirect views.
  Cause:
  
  Redirect Views: Redirect views are designed to navigate users to another view or application. They are not intended for direct data manipulation or field additions.
  Configuration Restrictions: The system has built-in restrictions that prevent certain actions on redirect views to maintain the integrity and intended functionality of the application.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Avoid Adding Fields to Redirect Views: Instead of trying to add fields to a redirect view, consider whether you can achieve your goal through other means, such as:
  
  Modifying the target view that the redirect view points to.
  Creating a new view that includes the necessary fields and then redirecting to that view.
  
  
  
  Check Application Design: Review the application design to ensure that the use of redirect views is appropriate for your use case. If you need to display additional information, consider using a different type of view that allows for field additions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Fiori or SAP UI5 documentation for guidelines on working with views and understanding the limitations of redirect views.
  
  
  Use Custom Logic: If you need to implement custom logic, consider using controllers or services that can handle the data manipulation outside of the redirect view context.
