• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFF_FORM_SERVER805 - To import a template, select one form definition only ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WFF_FORM_SERVER805: To import a template, select one form definition only
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to import a form template in SAP but have selected multiple form definitions instead of exactly one. The import process for a form template requires that only a single form definition be selected at a time. Selecting more than one form definition leads to this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In SAP Workflow or SAP Smart Forms/Adobe Forms, when importing a form template, the system expects a single form definition to be selected.
  If multiple forms are selected, the system cannot determine which form template to import, hence it throws this error.
  This is a validation check to ensure the import process is unambiguous.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Select only one form definition before starting the import process.
  Review your selection in the import dialog or form selection screen and ensure that exactly one form is highlighted or chosen.
  If you need to import multiple forms, do it one by one, importing each form template separately.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This error is commonly encountered in SAP Workflow Builder or when working with form templates in SAP NetWeaver.
  The message is part of the workflow form server messages (WFF_FORM_SERVER).
  Check SAP Notes or documentation related to form import/export if you encounter further issues.
  Ensure you have the correct authorizations to import forms.
  If you are using transaction codes like SWF_FORM or SFP (for Adobe Forms), the same rule applies.
