  Error Message
  WF_CONT110: No element chosen
  
  Cause
  This error typically occurs in SAP Workflow when a user tries to proceed with a workflow step that requires selecting an object or element (such as a business object instance, task, or container element), but no element has been selected or specified.
  In other words, the workflow step expects an input or selection of an element to continue processing, but the system finds that no element has been chosen or passed to the step.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  A user interface (e.g., a task inbox) where the user must select an item but proceeds without selection.
  A workflow container element that is expected to be filled but is empty.
  A workflow step that requires a reference to a business object instance, but the reference is missing.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WF_CONT110 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Selection:
  
  Ensure that the user selects the required element (e.g., a task, object, or item) before proceeding.
  If the error occurs in a user decision step, verify that the UI or selection screen forces or validates the selection.
  
  
  
  Verify Workflow Container Elements:
  
  Check the workflow container elements in the workflow builder (transaction SWDD).
  Make sure that the required container elements are properly filled before the step that triggers the error.
  If the container element is empty, trace back to the previous steps or methods that should have populated it.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Task Configuration:
  
  Review the task definition (transaction PFTC) to ensure that the binding of container elements is correct.
  Confirm that the task is correctly linked to the business object and that the object instance is passed properly.
  
  
  
  Debug the Workflow:
  
  Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) to analyze the workflow instance and identify where the error occurs.
  Use transaction SWUS or SWI2_FREQ to find workflows with errors.
  Debug the workflow step to see why the element is missing.
  
  
  
  Enhance User Interface or Validation:
  
  If the error is due to user omission, enhance the UI to prevent proceeding without selection.
  Add validation checks or mandatory fields to ensure the element is chosen.
