• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS085 - Editable field &1 is the same as referenced field ?

  The SAP error message SADL_GW_DT_CDS085 indicates that there is an issue with the data model in your Core Data Services (CDS) view or the way the data is being handled in the SAP Gateway. Specifically, the error states that an editable field is the same as a referenced field, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  Field Redefinition: You have defined an editable field in your CDS view that is directly referencing another field, making them effectively the same. This can happen if you have a field that is both editable and also directly linked to another field in the data model.
  Inconsistent Annotations: The annotations in your CDS view may not be correctly set up, leading to confusion in the data handling logic.
  Data Model Design: The design of your data model may not be optimal, leading to conflicts between editable fields and referenced fields.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the CDS View: Check the definition of your CDS view to identify where the editable field is defined. Ensure that it is not directly referencing another field that is already defined in the view.
  
  
  Modify Field Definitions:
  
  If the editable field is meant to be a separate field, consider renaming it or changing its definition so that it does not conflict with the referenced field.
  If the editable field is intended to be the same as the referenced field, you may need to remove the editable attribute from it.
  
  
  
  Check Annotations: Ensure that the annotations for the fields in your CDS view are correctly set. For example, if you are using @UI.lineItem or @UI.selectionField, make sure they are not causing conflicts.
  
  
  Test Changes: After making the necessary changes, test the CDS view again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct setup, refer to the SAP documentation for Core Data Services and the specific annotations you are using.
