Register to SAP Fiori Launchpad does not use flp-config.json settings

[gregorw]

Hello Web IDE Experts,

when you follow the instructions from Create/Deploy to the SAP Fiori Launchpad you get the File flp-config.json generated. I've done this for one of my projects in SAP Web IDE Full Stack on SCP Production. Now I want to reuse the flp-config.json with some small adjustments in another project which I've then already deployed to SAP Cloud Platform. The content defined i.e. the Semantic Object:

In the Web IDE I do a right-click on the project and choose Deploy -> Register to SAP Fiori Launchpad:

Now I would expect that the wizard would read an existing flp-config.json and pre-populate the wizard form fields with i.e. the Semantic Object. But this is not the case as you can see here:

There seems to be one location where something that I've defined in my project is taken into account. That is the SCP Cloud Portal. When I add a new app there, then the Intent Navigation is taken from what I've configured in my app. But I don't think that this is the content of flp-config.json. I think that is coming from the manifest.json of my app:

So another question occurs: Why is there a flp-config.json file when already the manifest.json can define many details of a tile?

Best regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,

I'm afraid this is not supported. The wizard creates this file which is then being sent in the request, not the other way around.

Michal.

Hi Michal,

I hope that suggestion can make it to the backlog. Would be a nice comfort function. And if in the manifest.json a crossNavigation Intent is defined this could be taken as the default if no flp-config.json exists yet.

Best regard

Will pass this to the relevant PO. Thanks!
