WRF_CHAR_VAL080 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WRF_CHAR_VAL080
  Text: You are not permitted to assign a type to data type &1 of characteristic
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to assign a data type to a characteristic in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA, but the system does not allow this assignment due to the characteristic's configuration or the nature of the data type.
  More specifically:
  
  The characteristic in question is defined in a way that does not permit assigning a data type explicitly.
  This often happens when the characteristic is a standard characteristic or a 0CHAR type characteristic, which has predefined data types.
  It can also occur if you try to assign a data type to a characteristic that is already linked to an InfoObject with a fixed data type.
  Another cause can be related to the type of characteristic (e.g., navigational attribute, display attribute) where the system restricts data type
