Why value help does not work on extend view?

[friendlycoder]

Hi all,

I have extended a SAP standard view as follows:

extend view C_JournalEntryItemBrowser with YFIN_E_JOURNALENTRYITEMBROWSER
  association [1..1] to YFIN_I_GLAccCompanyCodeStdVH as _GlAccExtVH          on  _GlAccExtVH.CompanyCode = $projection.companycode
                                                                             and _GlAccExtVH.GLAccount   = $projection.glaccount
{
  @UI.lineItem: {position:20}
  @UI.selectionField: {position: 20}
  @UI.identification:{position:20, importance:#HIGH}
  @Consumption.filter: { multipleSelections: true }
  @UI.fieldGroup: [{ qualifier: '_BASIC', groupLabel: 'Basic Fields', position: 03, exclude: false, importance: #HIGH, type: #STANDARD }]
  @ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_GlAccExtVH'
  GLAccount                          as GLAccExtension,
  _ItemAccountDocument,
  _GlAccExtVH
}

The field is also enabled as selection field on the FioriApp:

Unfortunately, when presssing F4 for Value Help it does not show the desired result:

The value help provider is defined as follows:

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'YFINIGLACCSTDVH'
@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
@AbapCatalog.preserveKey: true

@VDM.viewType: #COMPOSITE
@ObjectModel.dataCategory: #VALUE_HELP
@ObjectModel.representativeKey: 'GLAccount'
@ObjectModel.usageType.sizeCategory: #M
@ObjectModel.usageType.dataClass: #MASTER
@ObjectModel.usageType.serviceQuality: #C
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
@AccessControl.privilegedAssociations: ['_Text']
@ClientHandling.algorithm: #SESSION_VARIABLE
@Search.searchable: true
@Metadata.ignorePropagatedAnnotations: true
@EndUserText.label: 'General Ledger Account Extension'
define view YFIN_I_GLAccCompanyCodeStdVH
  as select from I_GLAccountInCompanyCodeStdVH
  association [0..*] to YFIN_I_GlAccountText as _Text on  $projection.CompanyCode = _Text.CompanyCode
                                                          and $projection.GLAccount   = _Text.GLAccount
{
      @ObjectModel.text.association: '_Text'
      @Search.defaultSearchElement: true
      @Search.fuzzinessThreshold: 0.8
      @Search.ranking: #HIGH
  key GLAccount,
      @ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_CompanyCode'
  key CompanyCode,
      @Consumption.hidden: true
      _CompanyCode,
      _Text
}

and text provider:

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'YFINIGLACCOUNTXT'
//@ClientDependent: true
@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
@EndUserText.label: 'G/L Account Extension'
@ObjectModel.dataCategory: #TEXT 
@VDM.viewType: #BASIC
//@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #NOT_REQUIRED
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
@ObjectModel.representativeKey: 'GLAccount'
@AbapCatalog.buffering.status: #NOT_ALLOWED         
@ObjectModel.usageType.sizeCategory: #L
@ObjectModel.usageType.dataClass:  #MASTER
@ObjectModel.usageType.serviceQuality: #C
@ClientHandling.algorithm: #SESSION_VARIABLE
@Metadata.ignorePropagatedAnnotations: true  
@Search.searchable: true
@AbapCatalog.preserveKey:true
define view YFIN_I_GlAccountText
  as select from I_GlAccountTextInCompanycode
{
      @Search.defaultSearchElement:true
      @Search.fuzzinessThreshold:0.8
      @Search.ranking:#HIGH
      @ObjectModel.text.element: 'GLAccountLongName'
  key GLAccount,
      @ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_CompanyCode'
  key CompanyCode,
      @Semantics.language
      @ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_Language'
  key Language,
      @ObjectModel.foreignKey.association: '_ChartOfAccounts'
      ChartOfAccounts,
      @Semantics.text: true
      @Search.defaultSearchElement:true
      @Search.fuzzinessThreshold:0.8
      @Search.ranking:#HIGH
      GLAccountLongName,
      /* Associations */
      _ChartOfAccounts,
      _CompanyCode,
      _Language
}

In the metadata of the service I can not find the entity type YFIN_I_GLAccCompanyCodeStdVH. What am I doing wrong? Best regards

Thanks for your answer. Yes, the OData is implemented as RDS.

The problem can not be solved with the App Extensibility: Display Line Items in General Ledger. Do you have another suggestion?

Thanks
