2979465 - The field enabled in data source extension can be only displayed by means of 'Issue Output To' when the output item status is 'In Preparation' - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

A field was enabled by extending data source SD_SLS_FDP_V1_QUOTATION_SRV or FDP_V1_ORDER_CONFIRM_SRV for a custom form template. However, when displaying the PDF in the output item whose status is "In Preparation", the field is only displayed by means of VA02/VA03/VA22/VA23 initial screen - menu bar - Sales Document - Issue Output To - Choose the output item - Display Document. It won't be displayed in any other approach to the output item.

>> When you add fields to custom form templates using data source extensions, these fields are not displayed in the PDF preview, only in the final output.

When using an extended data source for PDF output and it’s expected to check the extended field for an output item whose status is "In Preparation", use the approach by Sales Document - Issue Output To rather than the other ways.
