  The SAP error message /UI2/SPACE023 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a space template in the SAP Fiori Launchpad, but the texts for that template in the specified language already exist. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a new space template or update an existing one, and the system detects that the language-specific texts for that template are already present in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The primary cause of this error is that the space template you are trying to create or modify already has texts defined for the specified language.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the way the space templates are being managed or created.

  Modify Existing Texts:

  Use a Different Language:
  
  If you need to create a new space template, consider using a different language that does not have existing texts for that template.
  
  
  
  Delete Existing Entries:
  
  If the existing texts are no longer needed, you may delete them (if appropriate) and then attempt to create the new space template again.
