  Error Message
  WD290: Result element of container operation must be entered
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in Web Dynpro ABAP applications when a container operation (such as a method or action that manipulates the context node) expects a result element to be specified, but it is missing or not provided.

  Using a method or action that returns a value, but the result is not assigned to any context attribute or node.
  Misconfiguration in the context binding or operation parameters.
