How To Fix WD018 - Container element & is for read purposes only. No values are assigned

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WD - Workflow definition

• Message number: 018

• Message text: Container element & is for read purposes only. No values are assigned

What causes this issue?

Container element &v1& is used, but it is only read. You do not assign
values to this element either with the input parameters at the start of
the workflow or during the workflow.

System Response

This element will always be initial at runtime. Therefore no
conditions, bindings, etc. should be defined for it.
Bear in mind that methods cannot be executed on initial objects.

How to fix this error?

Check whether container element &v1& is actually required, or ensure
that values are assigned to the container element before it is used.
