PPM, enhancing screen interfaces via tables /RPM/ITEM_D, DPR_PHASE

[Former Member]

Good day!

My purpose is to add user-defined fields for elements and phases. I do it via enhancing appropriate standard tables ( /RPM/ITEM_D, DPR_PHASE).

I have implemented a field based on domain in tables /RPM/ITEM_D and DPR_PHASE.

At Element interface I see that field generated as dropdown box and at Phase interface the same field is generated as inputfield with searchhelp.

Is there any option in SPRO where I can set type of screen object of the field (dropdownbox / checkbox / inputfield) ?

For now I have to do it at runtime in WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view - I'm deleting unwanted element in the table VIEW->ELEMENTS, creating a desired one and placing it in that table. I find this approach horrible...

Can I get the same results in other way?

Resolved by myself.

In method WDDOMODIFYVIEW a method wd_comp_controller->mr_view_services->render_dynamic_view is called.

To output a checkbox for a field in standard table (/RPM/ITEM_D, INM_INITIATIVE) the domain should have type XFELD.

In other ways, if a field have domain, it would be shown as dropdownbox.

Field without any domain would be shown as inputfield.
