Then Double click ur simple type(name), automatically the window will open then change the fields and close

Hi

try this steps

1) Open the dictionary>local dictionary>datatypes>simpletypes>(Created Simple Type)

2) Double click the Simple type

3) You will get the Simple Type Reprsentation window (on leftside middle pane)

4) Edit the Existing Simple Type

5) Save the metadata (ie your application)

6) Rebuild the application

7) Deploy the application

I guess you are using NWDI. If so, you need to first checkout the simple type and then try editing.

Let me know if you need any further explanation.

Hi Arpitha,

Well do you require to change the value at runtime or design time?

For designtime:

WebDynpro explorer->Dictionary->local dictionary-->Data types->simple type--->ur simple type(Name).

Double click ur simple type(name), automatically the window will open then change the fields and close.

or goto the WD Explorer and to the dictionary and open it you'll get the simpletype.Now here you can change it as per your requirement.

Please clarify if it's at runtime.

Hi,

U can expand ur project. Then follow the path

Disctionary -> Local Dictionary -> Data Type ->Simple Type -> Right click on your simple type and edit it. on the right hand side u will get your Simple type definition. Now you will get your editable field Description. But you can not change your simple type name.

Thanks and Regards
