    The SAP error message SWF_FLEX_DEF085 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Business Rule Framework plus (BRF+) in relation to the leading object for a specific CDS (Core Data Services) view. This error typically arises when the system cannot find a defined CDS view that is necessary for generating BRF+ rules.
