• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WD067 - (Local) event '&' already exists (choose another name) ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WD067 (Local): event '&' already exists (choose another name)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in Web Dynpro ABAP when you try to create or define an event with a name that already exists in the current context (e.g., in a component controller, window, or view). The event name must be unique within its scope, and the system prevents duplicate event names to avoid ambiguity in event handling.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In Web Dynpro, events are used to trigger actions or notify other components/controllers.
  Each event must have a unique identifier (name) within the scope it is defined.
  If you attempt to create a new event with a name that is already used, the system throws this error to enforce uniqueness.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Choose a different event name: When creating a new event, ensure the name is unique and not already used in the same context.
  Check existing events: Review the list of events in the current controller, window, or view to
