Here’s a breakdown of the cause, solution, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Type: The error indicates that the transport request you are using is not a "development" request. In SAP, transport requests can be of different types, such as "customizing", "workbench", or "transport of copies". Only development requests are allowed for certain operations, including transporting UI5 texts.
  Incorrect Transport Configuration: The transport configuration in your SAP system might not be set up correctly, leading to this error when trying to write texts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use a Development Transport Request:
  
  Ensure that you are using a transport request of type "development". You can create a new transport request in the SAP GUI by going to the transaction code SE09 or SE10 and selecting the appropriate request type.
  If you are working in a development environment, make sure to create a new development transport request for your changes.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Settings:
  
  Verify the settings of the transport request you are using. Ensure that it is indeed marked as a development request.
  If you are unsure, you can create a new transport request and ensure it is set to "development" before proceeding with your changes.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and manage transport requests. Lack of proper authorizations can sometimes lead to issues when trying to write to transport requests.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you continue to face issues, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team. They can provide insights into the transport landscape and help troubleshoot any underlying issues.
