Symptom

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Enter the screen where the field needs to be operated.
  2. Click the avatar icon on the top right of the system and click Key User Settings -> Start Adaptation Mode.
  3. Right click the section of the screen where the field needs to be added, or right click the field that needs to be changed.
  4. Click "+ Extension Fields".

A list will appear with the extension fields, however the desired field does not appear. 

Cause

The extension field was created as part of a PDI solution, instead of being created through Key User Tools.
