• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WWP1028 - Select the folder symbol for the node ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WWP1028: Select the folder symbol for the node
  
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in SAP Web Dynpro applications when a user tries to expand or interact with a node in a tree or hierarchical structure, but instead of clicking on the folder symbol (the expand/collapse icon), they click directly on the node text or an area that does not trigger the expansion. The application expects the user to click the folder symbol to expand or collapse the node.
  In other words, the UI control is designed such that only clicking the folder icon (usually a small triangle or plus/minus sign) will expand or collapse the node. Clicking elsewhere on the node does not trigger this action, and the system prompts the user to "Select the folder symbol for the node."
  
  When does it happen?
  
  In Web Dynpro ABAP applications with tree controls.
  When users try to expand/collapse nodes by clicking on the node text
