Fiori Transactional App using Header->Item functionality with UI.facet annotation

[former_member602733]

Hi experts,

I have a transactional app, not using draft functionality, with 3 consumption views: header, item and one for texts. I`m using the following annotations:

• @ObjectModel.association.type: [#TO_COMPOSITION_ROOT, #TO_COMPOSITION_PARENT]
• @ObjectModel.association.type: #TO_COMPOSITION_CHILD

When I created the Project, in WebIDE, via template List Report based on my OData from my Header CDS, I`ve chosen the main OData service and navigation to_Item, so leaving out the Text view.

In result I have the following scenario:

Both header and item have the “insert” functionality, but not the Text Table. Is this a normal behavior? Or did I forget something in my annotations?

My MDE file which annotates my header CDS view

@Metadata.layer: #PARTNER
@UI.headerInfo: { typeName: 'Handle Type - Header',
                  typeNamePlural: 'Handle Types - Header',
                  title: { type: #STANDARD, value: 'handletype'}}


annotate view YFIORI_FB_C_300 with
{
 
  @UI.facet: [{
               label : 'General Information',
               id : 'GeneralInfo',
               purpose: #STANDARD,
               type : #COLLECTION,
               position: 10
           },


           {
               label: 'Basic Data',
               id : 'BasicData',
               purpose: #STANDARD,
               parentId : 'GeneralInfo',
               type : #FIELDGROUP_REFERENCE,
               targetQualifier : 'one',
               position: 20
           },


           {
               label: 'Admin Data',
               id : 'AdminData',
               purpose: #STANDARD,
               parentId: 'GeneralInfo',
               type : #FIELDGROUP_REFERENCE,
               targetQualifier : 'two',
               position: 30
           },


           {
               label: 'Handle Part Type',
               id  : 'HPTYPE',
               purpose: #STANDARD,
               type : #LINEITEM_REFERENCE,
               targetElement: '_Item',
               position: 40
           },


           {
               label: 'Text Table',
               id  : 'HTTEXT',
               purpose: #STANDARD,
               type : #LINEITEM_REFERENCE,
               targetElement: '_HText',
               position: 50
           }]




  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'one', position : 10 }] }
  @UI: { selectionField : [{ position: 10 }],
         lineItem       : [{ position: 10 }],
         identification : [{ position: 10, importance: #HIGH, label: 'Handle Type' }]}
  handletype;


  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'one', position : 20 }]}
  @UI: { lineItem       : [{ position: 20, importance: #HIGH, label: 'Handle Cutout' }],
         identification : [{ position: 20, importance: #HIGH, label: 'Handle Cutout' }],
         textArrangement: #TEXT_LAST}
  handlecutout;




  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'two', position : 10, label: 'Created on', importance: #HIGH }]}
  createdat;


  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'two', position : 20, label: 'Created by', importance: #HIGH }]}
  createdby;


  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'two', position : 30, label: 'Changed on', importance: #HIGH }]}
  changedat;


  @UI: { fieldGroup     : [{ qualifier : 'two', position : 40, label: 'Changed by', importance: #HIGH }]}
  changedby;
}

How can I enable the “insert” also on the Text Table (third facet)?

Thank you

Alex

Can you check if your interface view has the "createEnabled" annotaiton?

Hi Alex,

Is it possible to share the CDS code for enabling the facet and associations used for this object. I am working on same kind of requirement where i have to enable the third facet.

I`ve managed to make it work!

From what I`ve learned is that when creating the project in WebIDE and selecting the OData with its navigation, example to_Item, then this will generate coding only for that particular navigation.

In my case I have 2 children: to_Item and to_HText and only to_Item navigation was enabled.

What I`ve did to enable the to_HText navigation and CRUD operations, beside the coding related to UI.facet from MDE file:

• In the ‘manifest.json’ file of the WebIDE project, add the missing navigation for the Text entity.
• 
• In the ‘annotation.xml’ file of the WebIDE project add annotations UI.facets for the Text entity.
• 

As result:

Hi Mahesh,

My text interface view has the createEnable set to true.

Also my BOPF -> Text entity has the create enabled.

Also I`ve checked and generate my BOPF and deleted and re-created my fiori app using the same OData but didn`t work..

In one testing scenario I`ve created the project in WebIDE with OData collection YFIORI_FB_C_300 and OData Navigation: to_Htext (my text table). In result I got my navigation from header to item -> text table working fine, also with insert functionality but my other child C_310 was missing the “insert” functionality. That is why I`ve thought I miss some annotation to activate the third facet… Or maybe is not possible?

Thanks

Alex
