How To Fix FDT_CHANGE_INFO554 - Limit of &1 differences was reached

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FDT_CHANGE_INFO - FDT: Changes info in object for different versions

• Message number: 554

• Message text: Limit of &1 differences was reached

What causes this issue?

The system has determined that in the current object version, more than
&v1& changes have been made. This number is the predefined limit for
change recording. Any further changes that may have been made in this
version are omitted.
The predefined limit of &v1& changes is normally only exceeded if a mass
change has been done to an object (for example, a value shift for all
range checks in a decision table of several hundreds of lines). In such
cases, looking at the first &v1& changes that have been recorded should
be sufficient to give you an impression of the nature of the remaining
changes that have not been recorded.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
