  Error Message
  VO242: No transport request was selected
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a change or transport-related action (such as creating or modifying a workflow, object, or customizing setting) that requires assigning the change to a transport request, but no transport request has been selected or assigned.
  In SAP, when you make changes that need to be moved between systems (e.g., from development to quality or production), these changes must be recorded in a transport request. If the system expects a transport request but none is selected, it throws this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Creating or modifying workflow objects (e.g., tasks, events, rules) in the Workflow Builder.
  Making changes in customizing or development objects that require transport.
  Attempting to save changes without selecting or creating a transport request.
