  SAP Error Message:
  WTYC1005 - Change of action type not possible; delete action and create again
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to change the action type of an existing action in the Workflow Builder or related workflow configuration. In SAP Workflow, once an action is created with a specific action type, the system does not allow you to directly change the action type of that existing action. This is because the action type is a fundamental attribute that defines the behavior and interface of the action, and changing it could lead to inconsistencies or runtime errors.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Action Type refers to the kind of operation the action performs, such as a method call, a function module, a container operation, etc.
  Changing the action type would mean changing the underlying implementation or interface, which is not supported directly.
  The system enforces data integrity by preventing such changes.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  Delete the existing action that has the incorrect or undesired action type.
  Create a new action with the correct action type and the required parameters.
  Adjust any references or links to the old action to point to the new action.
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  This behavior is by design to maintain workflow consistency.
  Always double-check the action type before creating an action.
  If you need to change the action type frequently, consider designing your workflow to minimize such changes.
  If you are working in the Workflow Builder (transaction SWDD), you can delete the action from the workflow definition and then add a new action.
  If the action is used in multiple workflows or objects, ensure that deleting it does not affect other workflows.
