  The SAP error message FDT_CORE435 indicates that there is an issue with a property setting in the context of a field or data element that is expected to be of type "text" but is not. Specifically, the error states that the "Convert to uppercase" property is set, but the field in question is not of a compatible type.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The field or data element that you are trying to apply the "Convert to uppercase" property on is not of type text (e.g., it might be a numeric type, date, or another non-text type).
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the field properties where the uppercase conversion is applied to a field that does not support it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Type: Verify the data type of the field where the error occurs. Ensure that it is set to a text type (e.g., CHAR, STRING) that supports the uppercase conversion.
  Adjust Property Settings: If the field is indeed not of type text and should not have the "Convert to uppercase" property, you need to remove or adjust this property in the configuration.
  Modify Data Model: If the field should be of type text but is not, consider modifying the data model to change the field type to a compatible text type.
