• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE753 - Invalid method call; either link or leaf properties can be set ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE753 indicates that there is an invalid method call related to the properties of a field in the Field Data Tool (FDT). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to set properties that are not applicable to the current context of the field, specifically when dealing with link or leaf properties.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Property Assignment: The error usually occurs when you try to set properties that are meant for either a "link" or a "leaf" node in a data structure, but the current node does not support those properties.
  Hierarchy Misconfiguration: If the data structure is not correctly configured, it may lead to attempts to set properties that are not valid for the current node type.
  Programming Logic Error: If you are using custom code or enhancements, there might be a logic error in how properties are being assigned.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Node Type: Ensure that you are trying to set properties on the correct type of node. If you are working with a "leaf" node, make sure you are not trying to set properties that are only applicable to "link" nodes, and vice versa.
  Review Configuration: Go through the configuration of your data structure in the FDT to ensure that it is set up correctly. Make sure that the hierarchy is properly defined and that properties are being assigned to the correct nodes.
  Debug Custom Code: If you are using custom code, debug the logic to ensure that the correct properties are being set for the appropriate node types. Look for any conditional statements that may be incorrectly allowing invalid property assignments.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the Field Data Tool to understand the valid properties for different node types and ensure compliance with those guidelines.
