2930127 - KUT Extension Field is missing from .REF file

Symptom

An extension field created in the front-end UI using KUT tools (Adaptation mode) is missing in the reference file (.ref) to customer-specific fields.

Environment

  • SAP Business ByDesign.
  • SAP Cloud for Customer.
  • SAP Cloud Applications Studio.

Cause

Customers can enhance their SAP cloud solution by creating extension fields in the adaptation mode. In the studio, the partner can create references to these customer-specific fields. After that, a business logic can be implemented for the referenced fields in script files of a custom solution.

Resolution

There are some restrictions when it comes to referencing customer-specific fields in your custom solution:

  1. You cannot reference a customer-specific field in a solution template.
  2. You cannot reference a calculated field.
  3. You can only reference a customer-specific field in the extension of a business object that has been released in the public solution model (PSM).
