  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the form processing to identify where the incorrect line type is being introduced. This may involve checking the program that calls the form and the data it provides.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the form you are working with, as there may be additional requirements or constraints.
