SAP Knowledge Base Article - PublicSymptom
You have maintained some value in the OVS field, and while doing so you receive the following error message:
"Your entry is too long. Do not enter more than X character(s)."
Meanwhile OVS works as expected and displays desired values.
Environment
- SAP Cloud Application Studio
- SAP Hybris Cloud For Customer
- SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Please navigate to the Work Center "ABC". (ABC refers to the name of the Work Center)
- Navigate to the view "DEF". (DEF refers to the name of the view)
- You may either open a specific Thing Inspector or Quick Create or neither.
- Input a few characters into the OVS field and observe the errror message being raised.
- Meanwhile your OVS still displays the value as it should.
Cause
Used OVS has a parameter "XYZ" and its configuration is maintained as "True", however this value in the SAP back-end is considered as "X",
Same goes for value maintained as "False" where in the SAP back-end it is displayed as " ".
To fix this discrepancy you have the change the value to either "X" or " " depending on the use case.
Resolution
To check whether this is the case and to apply appropriate solution please follow the below outlined steps:
Open the UI Designer and navigate to the affected screen:
- Select the required field and switch to the "Extensibility Explorer" tab.
- Select the anchor of this field. (You might have to check different anchors depending on the configuration)
- Press "Change ID-Field Configuration" in the Extensibility Explorer.
- Scroll down to the field name and expand the OVS clicking on the 3 dots.
- Check the value of the parameter, if it's value is "True" change it to "X".
