Populating Drop Down Field using the WSDL Data Connection in Lifecycle Mang

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I am experiencing some difficulty in adding drop down fields in my form which i am building using the Lifecycle Manager 7.1.

I have created the fields in SAP using the Easy Enhancement Work Bench (EEWB), it is these fields which i have created in the EEWB that i need to populate in my form. The properties of this field is a character field.

The data connection that i am using is a WSDL which brings all my fields to the data view palette.

It is these fields that i need to populate in as a drop down list on my form.

I would really appreciate help in adding these fields as a drop down list.

Looking forward to your answers

Hi,

If you are using the WebService to pupulate the DropDowns by binding it from the Dynamic Binding in the Layout Designer, then you need to create a tabletype with the itemvalue and textvalue in that table. And Populate all the dropdown values into this table. And in SE80 goto WebService Administration and Expose the WebService. Then when you create the NewData Connection in the Layout Designer then you can see it as a table in the DataView in the Response Node.

Then you need to bind that table to repective dropdown field, this can be done by going to the Binding tab of the field under object pallette and when you press the List Item values it shows the dynamic binding. There select the Data Connection of the newly created connection and specify the Table name and in "text" bind it to respective text field in the table and in "value" bind it with the respective value field in the table.

Thanks and Regards
