The presence of JavaScript can lead to security vulnerabilities, and as a result, SAP restricts its use in certain contexts.

  Identifying the specific item (indicated by &2 in the error message) that contains the JavaScript and modifying it to eliminate the JavaScript code.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Features: If you need to implement functionality that you were trying to achieve with JavaScript, consider using built-in features of the Web Application Designer or other SAP tools that do not require JavaScript.
  
  
  Check for Custom Code: If the web template was created or modified by someone else, check if there are any custom scripts or modifications that were added. You may need to consult with the developer or the person who created the template.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the web template again to ensure that it works without the JavaScript and that the desired functionality is still achieved.
