This typically occurs in the context of SAP's OData services, which are used for communication between the SAP backend and frontend applications.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Mapping Issues: The error often arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the data mapping between the frontend application and the backend system. This could be due to:
  
  Missing or incorrect data in the backend.
  Changes in the data model that have not been reflected in the OData service.
  Incompatibility between the data types or structures expected by the frontend and those provided by the backend.
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary permissions to edit the technical object, leading to this error.
  
  
  Technical Object Status: The status of the technical object may prevent editing. For example, if the object is locked or in a status that does not allow changes.
  
  
  Service Configuration: The OData service may not be properly configured to allow editing of the specific technical object.
  
  
  Solution:

  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools to trace the OData service call and identify where the mapping issue occurs.
