S4HC - Custom field and technical name?

[SAPSupport]

Hi SAP,

We created a custom field "Example Field - YY1_EXAMPLE" and we are not able to check in the backend nor in SE16 or SE11 what the technical name of the field is.

Can you please assist us in finding the technical name?

Dear customer,

In SAP S/4HANA Cloud we do not support transactions, so you'll not be able to use SE16 and SE11. In Custom Fields, we only use the Field Name/Label and the Identifier in S/4HANA Cloud. The identifier of the field that you create usually consists of a namespace, the name of your field, and the business context. Once you have created the field, you can't change the identifier. This would probably be the technical name that you're looking for.

In this case you have Field Name/Label: Example Field and Identifier: YY1_EXAMPLE. The technical name would be YY1_EXAMPLE.

Thank you.
