This error indicates that a required attribute or tag is missing in the definition of a field group used in a search query.
  Cause:

  Ensure that all field groups defined in the view have a 'name' attribute specified.
  
  
  
  Modify the Field Group:
  
  If you find a field group without a 'name', add the 'name' attribute to it. The syntax typically looks like this:
  fieldGroupForSearchQuery {
    name = 'YourFieldGroupName'
    ...
  }
  
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  After making the necessary changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the changes take effect.
