  SAP Error Message:
  WFE_SURVEY_EDITOR001: You can only select one option for a single choice question
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Workflow Survey or Survey Editor when a user tries to select more than one option for a question that is defined as a single choice question (i.e., a question where only one answer is allowed). The system enforces the question type constraints, so selecting multiple answers for a single choice question violates the survey's data integrity rules.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Single choice question: Only one answer option can be selected.
  Multiple choice question: Multiple answer options can be selected.
  
  If the question is configured as single choice but the user interface or input allows multiple selections (due to user error or a UI bug), this error is triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  User Action:
  
  Ensure that only one option is selected for the single choice question.
  Deselect any additional options before submitting the survey or saving the response.
