• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CP_MSG004 - Filter property '&1' does not support more than one value ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CP_MSG004 indicates that a filter property in the context of the SAP Fiori Design Time (FDT) or the SAP Fiori Elements framework is being assigned multiple values, but it only supports a single value. This typically occurs when you are trying to set a filter property in a way that is not compatible with its expected configuration.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by attempting to assign multiple values to a filter property that is designed to accept only a single value. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  When defining a filter in a Fiori application or a CDS view where the filter property is expected to be a single value (e.g., a single selection dropdown).
  When using a filter in a query or a data model that does not support multiple selections for that specific property.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Filter Configuration: Review the configuration of the filter property in your application or data model. Ensure that you are not trying to assign multiple values to a property that only supports a single value.
  
  
  Modify the Filter Logic: If you need to filter by multiple values, consider changing the filter property to one that supports multiple selections, or implement a different logic that allows for multiple criteria without violating the single-value constraint.
  
  
  Adjust the UI Elements: If you are using UI elements (like dropdowns or input fields) that allow multiple selections, ensure that they are configured correctly to match the expected input for the filter property.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific filter property you are using to understand its limitations and expected usage.
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the issue is occurring, use debugging tools to trace the execution and identify where the multiple values are being assigned.
