This error indicates that the system has detected multiple objects (Change Management objects) selected for a particular operation where only one is allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Selections: The user has selected more than one Change Management object (e.g., Change Request, Change Document) when the system expects only one to be selected for processing.

  Select a Single Object: Review your selection and ensure that you only select one Change Management object at a time. Deselect any additional objects before proceeding.
