• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK759 - You can only change the type of tasks in workbench requests ?

  The SAP error message TK759, "You can only change the type of tasks in workbench requests," typically occurs when you attempt to change the type of a task in a transport request that is not allowed. This error is related to the transport management system in SAP, which manages the movement of development objects between different environments (like development, quality assurance, and production).
  Cause:
  
  Type of Request: The error arises when you try to change a task type (for example, from a workbench request to a customizing request) in a transport request that is not a workbench request. Only workbench requests allow for such changes.
  Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not permit changes, such as being released or already transported.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Request Type: Ensure that you are working with a workbench request. If you need to change a customizing request, you will need to create a new workbench request or use the appropriate request type.
  Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. If it is released or already transported, you will not be able to change the task type. You may need to create a new request if changes are necessary.
  User Authorizations: Check if you have the necessary authorizations to modify the transport request. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Create a New Request: If you need to change the type of task, consider creating a new workbench request and moving the necessary objects to that request.
