  The SAP error message SMARTFORMS051 indicates that there is an issue with page protection settings in a Smart Form. Specifically, the message states that "Page protection for node &1 was reset." This typically occurs when the page protection settings for a particular node in the Smart Form are not compatible with the layout or structure of the form.
  Cause:
  
  Page Protection Settings: The node in question has page protection settings that are not applicable or are conflicting with the layout of the Smart Form. Page protection is used to control how content is printed on pages, and if the settings are not correctly configured, SAP will reset them.
  Node Configuration: The node may be configured in a way that does not allow for the desired page protection, such as being placed in a context where page protection cannot be applied.

  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct settings, refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to Smart Forms and page protection.
