ESS UI Personalization - Extended Fields - Drop Down Field

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I added some Z fields in screen structure HCMT_BSP_PA_US_0006, so that I can personalize (add) extension fields to iView "Addresses". One of these fields from IT0006 corresponds to field "Communication Type" (COM01) and my Z* is just a copy of this.

In R3 this field is treated as a list, and if you hit F4 in PA30 you will see the available options (e.g. Cell, 2ND, FAX, ...).

Problem is in the Portal: if I define this ZCOM01 as an Input Field or a Text Viewer, I will view the content correctly. If I define this field as a Drop-down list, it will appear empty.

Moreover, I need to be able to view all the entries available (as in PA30), being that the default value should be the one stored in the field. I need this because this field will also be there for Editing purposes, otherwise a simple textviewer would be fine.

Does anyone know how can I implement this? Is this even possible with this kind of personalization or is this already crossing boundaries to webdynpro ess source modifying?

Thanks a lot,

Hi,

I am facing the same problem.

Have you found the solution?

Are you adding the additional fields to the webdynpro screen through content administrator personalization (ctrl+right click)?.

You need to modify the webdynpro java source code and add the new fields as DropdownByKey and choose the ZZcom01 context element as the selected key.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Yes, I am using content administrator personalization (ctrl+right click).

I am selecting custom extension fields than, making it visible and chosing Drop-down as a new element type.

So to make it work I also need to modify Java code?

Hi,

If you did as mentioned in the above reply, you need to do the code modification.

I am also trying the same but "I am not getting "Edit custom Extension field" .

Is there any special setting or role to be assigned in order to get that.

Your help on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Vivek.

Hi,

to make those extension fields visible in customization you need to restart the portal.
