Empty iView Name Property

23 Views

I have a situation where I would like to add a iView to a Role as a delta link. I then would like to make the name property of the iView instance in the Role either empty or a space so that it does not show up in my navigation. The problem that I am encountering is that there is a relatively new validation edit (not sure what service pack it was put in) put on the property editor that no longer allows this. I get an error message saying, "One or more fields have not been completed correctly".

The reason that I say no longer allows this is that pre-SAP EP 6.0 sp17 (version that we are running) I was able to do this. So my dilemma is I need to add a new role & iView in the same fashion I have done in 20+ other roles but can not because someone decided to put this edit on the name property. Note, the existing Roles/iViews work fine with a null name property on the iView until I try to edit one, then I get the same error.

Anyone have any ideas on how to proceed? I tried the same method for a Page, adding the iView to a page and then the page to the Role and then blanking out the Page name property, and got the same error. I also tried setting the iView's property "Invisible in Navigation Areas" to false but once that is done the Sort Priority property does not seem to be respected so I get a different iView from another merged role before the one with out the name that I want to show first.

This is really frustrating because I have this pattern implemented in production and it would seem that I have to change everything to a new pattern so these iViews show on the page but not in navigation or live with the fact that the iView name will show in the navigation.

Anyone have any ideas?
