How to deal with context dependant code lists?

Hi ByD studio forum,

recently one of the ByD solution partner raised an interesting questing regarding context dependant codelists. I create this thread to share the question and the answers (provided by Thomas Schneider) to it with the community.

Most of the ByD codelists are context independant and contain a list of unique values. Some of the codelists (i.e. WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode) are context dependant and the code value is only unique within a certain context, i.e. country, region.

Example - WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode:

List ID Code Value Description AT 1 Hourly AT 2 Salaried Employee AT 3 Manager AU 1 Hourly AU 2 Salaried Employee AU 3 Manager BE 1 Hourly BE 2 Salaried Employee BE 3 Manager BR 1 Salaried Employee

In a custom BO a element typed with an context dependant codelist is defined and should be placed on a custom UI.

import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT;

businessobject CodeListMapping_Test {

element CustomerWorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode : WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode;

}

In UI-Designer however is the required ListID not available by default:

So how can a ByD studio developer deal with context dependant codelist?

Best regards,

Ralf
