• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS581 - Loop mode does not allow to define a loop condition ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS581 indicates that there is an issue with defining a loop condition in a loop mode context within the SAP Fiori or SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) environment. This error typically arises when you are trying to set a loop condition in a context where it is not permitted, such as when the loop mode is set to a specific type that does not allow for conditions.
  Cause:
  
  Loop Mode Configuration: The loop mode you are using may not support defining a loop condition. For example, if you are in a "fixed" loop mode, you cannot specify a condition that would alter the loop's execution.
  Incorrect Expression: The expression or condition you are trying to define may not be valid in the context of the loop mode you are using.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data flow or the way the loop is set up in the expression editor.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Loop Mode: Review the loop mode you are using. If it is set to a mode that does not allow conditions (like "fixed"), consider changing it to a mode that does allow conditions (like "dynamic").
  Modify the Expression: If you need to use a loop condition, ensure that the loop mode supports it. Adjust your expression accordingly to fit the requirements of the loop mode.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to understand the limitations and capabilities of loop modes and conditions.
  Test with Simple Conditions: If you are unsure about the validity of your condition, try testing with simpler conditions to see if the error persists.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools available in the SAP environment to trace the execution and identify where the loop condition is being incorrectly defined.
