    The SAP error message "SWDP_WB_TOOL801 Node & already has an attribute with the name &" typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro development. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the naming of attributes within a node in your Web Dynpro component. Specifically, it means that you are trying to add an attribute to a node that already has an attribute with the same name.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate Attribute Names: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create a new attribute in a node that already contains an attribute with the same name.
