How to fix this error?

This is not a table/view design error. Such fields cannot be put in BC
Sets because of the current BC Set design. The SAP developer responsible

If it is possible without too much effort, adjust the table/view in the
Dictionary so that there are no more fields longer than 255 characters.
Regenerate any maintenance dialog (SE54).
These changes will usually require a lot of effort. You can confirm the
restriction in the BC Set compatibility check. The BC Set functionality
for this object is not deactivated, the field is not proposed for the BC
Set in the BC Set maintenance transaction (SCPR3).

This error typically arises when you are trying to use a field in a configuration or customization activity that is not supported due to its length.
  Cause:
  
  Field Length Exceeded: The specific field (&2) in the table/view (&1) has a defined length greater than 255 characters. SAP has certain limitations on field lengths in specific contexts, especially in customizing and configuration activities.
