  SAP Error Message:
  WFD_BL_MSG020: The filter property &1 has been changed.
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow Builder or Business Object Repository (BOR) when a filter property that is used in a workflow or business object has been modified or changed. The filter property is a parameter or attribute used to filter data or control the flow in a workflow.
  The message indicates that the filter property (represented by &1, which will be replaced by the actual property name in the runtime message) has been changed since it was last used or defined. This can happen if:
  
  The filter property was renamed, deleted, or its data type was changed in the business object or workflow definition.
  The workflow or business object is out of sync with the current definition of the filter property.
  There is a mismatch between the filter property used in the workflow and the current version of the business object.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you should:
  
  
  Check the Filter Property:
  
  Identify the filter property mentioned in the message (the &1 placeholder will be replaced by the actual property name).
  Verify the current definition of this filter property in the Business Object Repository (BOR) or the workflow.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Workflow and Business Object:
  
  If the filter property has been changed (e.g., renamed or data type changed), update the workflow or business object to reflect these changes.
  Adjust the workflow filter conditions or the business object methods to use the correct and current filter property.
  
  
  
  Re-import or Re-activate Workflow:
  
  Sometimes, re-importing or re-activating the workflow or business object can help synchronize the definitions.
  Use transaction codes like SWDD (Workflow Builder) or SWO1 (Business Object Builder) to check and adjust the workflow or business object.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were transported from another system, ensure that all related objects (business objects, workflows, filter properties) are correctly transported and consistent.
