Suggestion values on Fiori Elements Selection Field with CDS-View

[beat_birrer]

Hello,

I'm using a CDS-View with annotations to generate an oData-Service. So I haven't a mpc_ext class to redefined the "define-method" for adding some oData-Annotations. My CDS-View contains UI.LineItem- and UI.SelectionField-Annotations. Further I have an association which I used for a valueHelp. With this oData-Service I'm able to create a List Report Application in the WebIDE. The App generates a SmartTable and a SmartFilterBar. Everything works fine.

But I've seen the SmartTable-Example on the SAPUI5-Expored page. There are suggestion values on the input field of the SmartFilterBar. I know the SmartFilterBar is interpreting the oData-Metadata and annotations.

So now my question is: How can i annotate the CDS-View to get suggestion values on a selection field in the app?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Beat

Hello

it definitely depends on what kind of associated view you are using, if you require to see something like a key field and a Text then you might need to implement a so called helper View specifically for this,

_ValueHelp_View1

and then annotate that field with annotation below

 @Consumption.valueHelp: '_ValueHelp_View1'

don't forget to publish that association

Hi Beat,

Can you point to exactly what you mean or include a screenshot ? I'm guessing you mean the default keyword search field which is controlled by the annotation DefaultSearchElement ? Or is it something else?
