I'm working with the SAP GTS plugin, and we have a standard screen that includes several text fields by default, and also has the ability to add extra text fields through configuration.
The problem is that because business requirements increased the need for the number of text fields we need to add through configuration, and now the size of the screen is insufficent to contain all of the information on the screen at the same time. This causes the user to have to scroll up and down a lot during their work.
I couldn't find a BADI or user exit that would allow me to create a custom screen, I'm wondering if I can make a minor modification to an existing screen. Specifically I I want to change the Lines/Columns Occupied and Mainten on the Attributes screen for the screen. I think this would allow the screen to expand to fill up more real-estate on the monitor and reduce scrolling.
I understand that if SAP releases a new version it will overwrite the version that I've modified, but my question is wheter that would actually cause any problems other than the attributes returning to standard value. This seems like it wouldn't be a big deal as the screen isn't likely to be changed very often.
Anybody have any thoughts about if this is a good idea or not? I pretty much just know to avoid modifying standard objects, but is such a minor UI change ok?
