• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL024 - Field &1 removed from CDS view ?

  The SAP error message SADL_DRAFT_TOOL024 indicates that a field has been removed from a Core Data Services (CDS) view, which can occur during the development or modification of CDS views in the SAP system. This error typically arises when there are inconsistencies between the data model and the draft handling logic, particularly when using the SADL (SAP ABAP Programming Model for SAP Fiori) framework.
  Cause:
  
  Field Removal: The specific field mentioned in the error message has been removed from the CDS view definition. This could happen due to changes in the underlying data model or intentional modifications to the CDS view.
  Inconsistent Draft Handling: If the draft handling logic is still referencing the removed field, it will lead to this error.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the CDS view or if the view is being used in different contexts, inconsistencies may arise.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check CDS View Definition: Review the CDS view definition to confirm that the field in question has indeed been removed. If it was removed intentionally, ensure that all references to this field are also updated or removed.
  Update Draft Logic: If the field was removed, you need to update the draft handling logic to ensure it no longer references the removed field. This may involve modifying the draft entity or the associated logic in the ABAP code.
  Rebuild the Draft: If the draft entity is out of sync, you may need to rebuild or regenerate the draft entity to reflect the current state of the CDS view.
  Check Dependencies: Ensure that there are no other dependent objects (like Fiori elements, UI annotations, etc.) that are still referencing the removed field. Update or remove these references as necessary.
  Transport Requests: If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they are properly transported to the quality and production environments, and that all related objects are included in the transport request.
