2905899 - Extension Field does Not Work on Basic Search

Symptom

You have created an Extension Field and added it to the Account screen, but it does not work on the Basic Search.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  • For this article purpose, let's use as example a field "ZLast Contacted" (ZLast Contacted represents the Extension Field name).
  1. Go to the Customers work center.
  2. Select the Accounts view.
  3. On the Account list, see that the field ZLast Contacted is populated for Account ID XYZ (XYZ represents the Account ID). It shows date DD.MM.YY (this represents a Data).
  4. On the Basic Search, type in DD.MM.YY.
  5. No records found.

Cause

Extension Fields of datatype = 'Time', 'Date', or 'DateTime' are not enabled for Basic Search.
