• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL491 - Property "text" is set in addition ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_WB_TOOL491, which states "Property 'text' is set in addition," typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro applications. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the property settings of a UI element, specifically regarding the "text" property.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises when:
  
  The "text" property of a UI element (like a button, label, etc.) is being set in multiple places, such as:
  
  In the UI element's definition in the Web Dynpro component.
  In the associated controller or view.
  In the layout or view configuration.
  
  
  The conflicting settings lead to ambiguity about which value should be used for the "text" property.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Property Settings: Review the UI element's properties in the Web Dynpro component. Ensure that the "text" property is set only once. If it is defined in multiple places, decide on a single source of truth for the property.
  
  
  Remove Duplicates: If you find that the "text" property is being set in both the UI element definition and the controller, remove the redundant setting. Choose the most appropriate place to define the property.
  
  
  Use Dynamic Values: If you need to set the "text" property dynamically, consider using a method in the controller to set the value based on certain conditions, but ensure that it does not conflict with static definitions.
  
  
  Check for Inheritance: If your UI element inherits properties from a parent component or view, ensure that the inherited properties do not conflict with the local settings.
  
  
  Rebuild the Application: After making changes, rebuild the Web Dynpro application to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Web Dynpro Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for Web Dynpro to understand how properties are managed and how to avoid conflicts.
