Value Help in the CDS for Steampunk ABAP not showing the Values

363 Views

I am building an application with RAP ABAP and using the Value Helps for some fields with the Consumption.valueHelpDefinition annotation, and am witnessing some strange behavior.

I have created 5 CDS entties:

1. A standalone CDS Entity : I am able to use this easily as the value help and able to see the values in the hit list.

2. 2 parent CDS entities: I am able to see the value help dialog boxes for both, but values in only 1 of them.

3. 2 child CDS entities: I am able getting the value help dialog box for either of these entities. I have triedd using them as just a search help as well as a drop down, but I only see the search help/dropdown icon, but nothing happens when I click on the icon. In my current use case, I need to use this search help.

The values in the standalone CDS entity have been filled using an insert statement in a class method, while the values in the parent and child entities have been filled using the generated Odata/Ui5 Application. Can anyone please help me with the cause of this absurd behavior?

Best Regards
