Target Value: B
Description: House

Cause

This is not a supported scenario to delete PDI delivered entry(data you have set in the .BCC file within Studio) and add a new entry with the same value for key field(field "Source Value", field type: Key, this is configured in the Business Configuration Object within Studio).

This scenario interferes with the "Restore Defaults" button in the Fine-Tuning View on frontend.

By marking an entry in the BC Set you created on SAP Cloud Applications Studio as "Can be Deleted in Fine Tuning" you would be able to delete the entry from Fine-Tuning Activity View so that value will not be visible for usage, for example, dropdown fields.

Resolution

This is the current expected behavior of the system.

As a workaround you could delete and re-create the BC Set with a dummy delivered entry (marked as can be deleted in Fine-Tuning)and add valid values again in Fine-Tuning.
