This error indicates that a higher-level UI element requires a specific UI element type to be encased or wrapped properly.
  Cause:
  The error message USMD2062 is triggered when:
  
  A UI element (like a field or a group) is not properly encapsulated within a higher-level UI element (like a UI group or a tab).
