  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  W8190 - Field or field value restrictions are only valid for "change" event &
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to define field or field value restrictions in a context other than the "change" event in a screen or module pool programming.
  
  In SAP Dynpro programming, field restrictions (like making a field input-enabled or not, or restricting certain field values) are typically valid only during the PBO (Process Before Output) or PAI (Process After Input) events, specifically during the "change" event.
  If you attempt to apply these restrictions in other events (e.g., "value request", "help", or any event other than "change"), the system issues this warning.
  The system expects that field restrictions are handled only when the user changes the field value, i.e., during the "change" event.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The "change" event is triggered when the user modifies the content of a field.
