Missing description in Dialog "Open ABAP Development Object" (ADT)

[frankmueller9]

Hello,

when I search for an object in the Dialog "Open ABAP Development Object" then I see two times the object type ( like Data Element ), but not the description of the object.

Is this a bug?

I assume that this dialog uses the ADT API method IAdtRepositorySearchService.search().

This returns also in the attribute IAdtObjectReference.decription the description of the object type instead of the object.

If it is not a bug then I'm wondering how I can get the description of an object with the ADT API. When I call the URI of this object (/sap/bc/adt/ddic/dataelements/matnr), then I get the description and other attributes in the master language (in this case DE) instead of the logon language (EN).

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank,
shorttext / description can be displayed since release 7.55. In older releases, obviously the type of the object is also provided as description and therefore now displayed twice.

We will have a look if we can fix that.

Hi Michael,

thank you very much for your reply.

I just tested it on a 7.55 release. It seems to work.

Can you please inform me in this thread, when there is a fix for the lower releases?

Best regards

Frank
