  SAP Error Message:
  WD301 Decision text longer than 50 characters: User decision as list
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in Web Dynpro applications when a decision text (usually a label or description for a user decision element such as a button, menu item, or choice in a decision list) exceeds the maximum allowed length of 50 characters. The UI element that displays the decision text cannot handle strings longer than 50 characters, leading to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In Web Dynpro ABAP, user decisions (e.g., in dialog boxes, confirmation dialogs, or decision lists) have a limitation on the length of the text describing each decision.
  The system expects the decision text to be concise and fit within the UI constraints.
  If the text is too long, it cannot be properly displayed, and the system raises the WD301 error.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Shorten the Decision Text:
  
  Review the decision text strings used in your Web Dynpro component or application.
  Ensure that each decision text is 50
