3077954 - Code List Restriction Applied for Fields with Same Data Type

Symptom

Multiple extension fields (KUT) were created with the same global data type. When a Code List Restriction (CLR) was applied to one of these fields, it also affected the other fields that share the same data type. 

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Reproducing the Issue

For example:

  1. Created fields ABC and XYZ, both fields with the same Data Type, and added them to one specific screen.
  2. Created a CLR for field ABC.
  3. CLR is being applied for field XYZ also. 

Cause

CLR is designed to work based on the data type, so it applies to all fields that share the same data type within the Business Object (BO). This is expected behavior with the current system design. At this time, there isn’t an alternative way to configure this.

Resolution

This is a known limitation of the system and works as designed.
