• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_WDY_MD_ADT100 - Save function is currently only supported for local objects! ?

  The SAP error message "SWDP_WDY_MD_ADT100 Save function is currently only supported for local objects!" typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro development, particularly when working with the Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA) environment. This error indicates that the save function you are trying to execute is only applicable to local objects, meaning that it cannot be used for objects that are not stored locally in your development environment.
  Cause:
  
  Local vs. Repository Objects: The error arises when you attempt to save a Web Dynpro component or other related objects that are not defined as local objects. In SAP, local objects are those that are not transported to other systems (e.g., development to quality assurance or production).
  Transport Requests: If you are working in a transport request or trying to save changes that are meant to be transported, the system may restrict certain operations to ensure integrity and consistency.
  Development Environment: The error may also occur if you are in a development environment that does not allow saving certain types of changes or if the system is configured to restrict saving for specific object types.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Ensure that you are working with local objects. If you need to save changes to a transportable object, you may need to create a local copy of the object, make your changes, and then transport it.
  Use Local Object: If you are developing and testing, consider using a local object (prefix with $TMP) to save your changes temporarily. This allows you to test your changes without affecting the transportable objects.
  Transport Request: If you are working on a transportable object, ensure that you are in the correct transport request. You may need to create a new transport request or add your changes to an existing one.
  Development Settings: Check your development settings and permissions. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to save changes to the objects you are working on.
