Getting Drop Down list for a field in portal based on the values in R/3

[Former Member]

Hi,

Presently we were customizing the ESS>>Family Members/Dependants iview in Portal. Because of the design requirement, in R/3 we have added some custom field for infotype 21 (Family Member details Infotype). We have to display these field on portal in Family Member Iview.

However for these custom fields i am not able to get the drop down list with all the possible values description(F4 help ) in portal unlike the standard SAP fields.

I am able to display the codes but the description is not coming up for the fields. However for standard SAP field, only description comes.

For this I tried to attach the search help to the data element and also assigned a check table to the data element in R/3. But still I am not getting the description in the drop down.

So how can I get the description and only the description in the drop down.

Thanks

Hi,

When you run the Search hep is it giving the description or not

You have to create the serarch help with both the fieldname and its description field then we cna the values. Or

Try to mantain the text table for this field and get the data.

Get the valeusinto drop drown with this table Or create the SearchHelp for this text table

I have created a text table for the field. Developed a Search help on this text table. My search help has 3 fields, sprsl, the field name and it description field. But still I am only getting the code in the dropdown list. I want the dropdown similar to what we get it for standard SAP fields in portal. They just show the description instead of the codes.
