• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TWBHS023 - Changes ignored if 'Regenerate test plan' chosen ?

  The SAP error message TWBHS023 indicates that changes made to a test plan are being ignored because the option "Regenerate test plan" has been selected. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Test Management tools, where test plans and test cases are managed.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to make changes to a test plan while the system is set to regenerate the test plan.
