How To Fix USMD2046 - Specified attribute cannot be used for UI element &1 (entity type &2)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: USMD2 - Master Data: UI Modeling

• Message number: 046

• Message text: Specified attribute cannot be used for UI element &1 (entity type &2)

What causes this issue?

UI element &V1 of entity type &V2& has the UI element type <LS>Table
Column with Key Field</>. The attribute assigned to the lower-level UI
element must therefore be an entity type that is the higher-level entity
type of another attribute. The assigned attribute is not a higher-level
entity type of one of the attributes that are assigned to entity type
&V2&, however.

it is not a higher-level entity type either, enter a different
attribute.
