• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO458 - User defined boolean expression was removed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CHANGE_INFO458 indicates that a user-defined boolean expression has been removed in the context of the Field Data Tool (FDT) or similar functionality within SAP. This typically occurs when there are changes made to the data model or the configuration that affect the boolean expression.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Data Model: If the underlying data model has been modified (e.g., fields added, removed, or renamed), the boolean expression that references these fields may become invalid.

  Solution:
  
  Review Changes: Check the recent changes made to the data model or configuration. Identify if any fields or elements that the boolean expression depended on have been altered or removed.
  Recreate the Expression: If the boolean expression is still needed, you may need to recreate it based on the current data model. Ensure that all referenced fields are valid and exist in the current configuration.
  Check Dependencies: Look for any dependencies that the boolean expression might have had. Ensure that all related elements are intact and functioning as expected.
  Testing: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the boolean expression works correctly and does not produce further errors.
  Documentation: Document any changes made to the boolean expression and the reasons for those changes to maintain clarity for future reference.
