  To import a template, select one form definition only.
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you attempt to import a form template in SAP (usually in the context of SAP Workflow or SAP Smart Forms/Adobe Forms) but have selected more than one form definition or none at all. The import function expects exactly one form definition to be selected to proceed with the import of the template.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When importing a form template via transaction codes like SMARTFORMS, SFP (Adobe Forms), or during workflow form template import.
  If multiple form definitions are selected in the selection screen or import dialog.
  If the selection is ambiguous or empty.
  
  
  Solution
  
  Select exactly one form definition before starting the import process.
  Review your selection screen or import dialog and ensure only a single form is highlighted or chosen.
  If you are using a program or script to import, check the parameters to ensure only one form name is passed.
  If you are importing via workflow builder or form builder, make sure to select the correct single form template.
  
  
  Additional Information
  
  This error is a safeguard to prevent ambiguity during form template import.
  The form definition refers to the unique identifier of the form you want to import.
  If you want to import multiple forms, you need to do it one by one.
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to your SAP version if the problem persists.
  Sometimes, this error can also occur if the form definition metadata is corrupted or inconsistent; in such cases, re-creating or repairing the form definition might help.
