How To Fix UIU_TEXT021 - &1, &2: You have switched between SAPscript and HTML-based texts

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UIU_TEXT - generic text service

• Message number: 021

• Message text: &1, &2: You have switched between SAPscript and HTML-based texts

What causes this issue?

If you switch between SAPscript and HTML-based texts, you will change
from which persistency texts are read and written. It is not possible to
read and write texts from a particular text object and ID from both
SAPscript and HTML-based texts. You can only use either SAPscript or
HTML-based texts for a single text object and ID combination.
When swtiching between SAPscript and HTML-based texts, any existing
texts for this text object and ID combination will remain in the
corresponding database tables. Therfore, these texts will not be
included in UI any longer.
Recommendation: It is recommended that you do not switch a text object
and ID combination between SAPscript and HTML-based texts. Use different
text objects and ID combinations.
