This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Custom Fields and Logic (CFL) functionality, which allows users to create custom fields and logic in their SAP applications.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data Transfer: The error suggests that the data transfer object (DTO) associated with the custom field is not defined or does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The custom field may not have been properly configured, or the data transfer settings may not have been correctly set up.

  Review Transport Requests:
