  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Row: Review the list or table from which you are trying to select a row. Ensure that you only select one row before proceeding with the operation.
  Deselect Other Rows: If you have inadvertently selected multiple rows, deselect them by clicking on the selected rows or using the appropriate deselect option in the user interface.
  Check for Filters: If you are trying to select a specific record, consider applying filters to narrow down the results, making it easier to select the desired single row.
  Re-execute the Transaction: After ensuring that only one row is selected, re-execute the transaction or function that triggered the error.
