This error indicates that the system expects the user to select only one layout for processing, but multiple layouts have been selected instead.

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the report or form that allow for multiple selections when only one is expected.
  User Error: The user may not be aware of the requirement to select only one layout and may have checked multiple options.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select a Single Layout: Review the layout selection screen and ensure that only one layout is selected. Uncheck any additional layouts that may have been selected.
  Check for Default Layouts: If there is a default layout set, ensure that it is the only one selected or that it is correctly configured.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the settings for the report or form to ensure that it is set up to allow only a single layout selection.
  User Training: If this is a recurring issue, consider providing training or documentation to users to clarify the requirement for selecting only one layout.
