ESS Family Member - Remove Mandatory asterix for first name

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am trying to remove the Mandatory asterix for the first name field in the iview for Family members (NL).

CTRL right clicking in the preview mode only nets the the options: Not personalized and Yes, both have the same result, so an asterix is showing.

The actual field is not mandatory, you can save it without any value in the field.

I want to remove this asterix, since the field should remain non-mandatory and the iview should reflect this.

I have tried customizing V_T588M_ESS for function group EHN6, but I never get any fields listed there.

How can I make this change?

Thanks in advance,

Marlies

its java code only through which you can remove the astreix othewise it cant be

ie

Regarding option 2

Use NWDI to change the UI property

You would need to open personal project in NWDS

1. Go to the layout tab of DetailView

2. Position cursor on Input field City and right click and select

Properties

1. Go to the Properties tab

2. Change property field State from Required to Normal

3. Save the changes

Deploy

You might need detailed knowledge of NWDS and NWDI to achieve this

Ah, that's what I was afraid of.

or you can raise a message for SAP to get this fixed, if the asterix is there and not mandatory

Siddharth, We have raised this as an issue to SAP. It seems that when T588MFPROPC is able to handle the control as to whether the field is mandatory or not, the web dynpro should pick up the same information and set the asterix accordingly. However, SAP refuses to acknowledge this as a bug. So I would be interested to know how I can make them realize this shoujld be fixed.

The settings in T588MFPROPC works fine for review screen. But as you say, the asterix is not affected.

Yes unfortunately some fields have asterix on always even though they are not mandatory. For me this is incorrect

the table can change the property and not the asterix as it comes from JAVA code. Well to convince SAP you need to have a business case where it effects your scenario, if it is a small change it will be done!

Some people say T588MFPROPC is not in use any more - but this is incorrect is it not?

check here V_T588MFPROPC for the country version you are looking for,

also some are set in the code itself ie hard coded ie some fields

[Former Member]

V_T588MFPROPC has the field listed, but no options are chosen, which makes the field non-mandatory. Which is consistent with the fact that I am allowed to save the data without any value in first name.

But I am still stuck with a red asterix suggesting the field is mandatory.

By hard coded, which code do you mean?
