2483828 - Custom MDF Associations not Visible in ODATA API

In the Odata API you can't see the custom MDF child object

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental

• SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
• MetadataFramework (MDF)

The customer has defined a custom mdf object but has associated to two different parent objects with composite association type

• Search for the parent field on the child object and select details

• In the details look at the "Valid Values Source" this should display the parent object
• If it displays "GOParentObject" then there's more than one parent object associated to this child object

If a child object is assigned to more than one parent object, it’s not currently supported in OData API

In order to solve the issue:

1. Remove the child object association from one of the parent objects, so there is only one association to the child object
2. When you remove one of the associations check the details again as in the previous step
3. The "Valid Values Source" should display the parent object if there's only one association remaining
4. You must then refresh the ODATA  API Metadata
