This typically occurs when you are trying to make changes to a transport request that is associated with a legacy CTS project, which is not compatible with the current system's transport management.

  Legacy CTS Projects: The error arises when you attempt to modify or transport objects that belong to a legacy CTS project. These projects were created in older versions of SAP and may not be compatible with the current transport management system.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to prevent modifications to legacy projects to ensure stability and integrity of the transport landscape.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow modifications (e.g., released or imported).
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Project: Determine which legacy CTS project is causing the issue. You can do this by checking the transport request details.
  Create a New Transport Request: Instead of modifying the legacy transport request, create a new transport request for the changes you want to implement. This is the recommended approach to ensure compatibility with the current system.
  Use the Correct Transport Method: If you need to transport objects from a legacy project, consider using the appropriate tools or methods that are compatible with legacy systems, or migrate the objects to a new project.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to legacy CTS projects and their migration to ensure you are following best practices.
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is impacting critical business processes.
