• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS777 - Change Mode &1; only Insert and Update are allowed (position &2) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_EXPRESSIONS777 indicates that there is an issue with the change mode of an expression in the context of the SAP Fiori Data Transformation (FDT) framework. The message states that only "Insert" and "Update" operations are allowed for the specified position, which is indicated by the placeholder &2.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform a change operation (like Delete) on an expression that is not permitted in the current context. The FDT framework restricts certain operations based on the mode of the expression, and in this case, it seems that the operation you are attempting is not allowed.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Change Mode: Ensure that you are in the correct change mode. If you are trying to delete an expression, you may need to switch to a mode that allows for deletions, or you may need to adjust your approach to only insert or update.
  
  
  Review the Expression: Look at the specific expression at the indicated position (&2). Verify if it is in a state that allows for the operation you are trying to perform. If it is not, you may need to modify your logic.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the FDT framework to understand the allowed operations for expressions and the implications of the change modes.
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Sometimes, expressions may have dependencies that prevent certain operations. Ensure that there are no constraints or dependencies that are causing this error.
  
  
  Testing: If you are developing or modifying expressions, test your changes in a development environment before applying them in production to avoid such errors.
