Symptom
When trying to add a new Extension Field to any screen with Field Type: Decimal Number, the error "Field Creation Failed" appears.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- With an Administrator User logged on ByD
- Open Adaptation mode (User Icon on top right > Key User Settings > Start Adaptation Mode)
- Click on "+" sign > Extension Field
- Fill all information accordingly until Field Type
- On Field Type, select Decimal. Length: 4. Decimal Places: 6 (Any number higher than Length)
- Save
- Error Happens
Resolution
This is a designed system behavior. The field "Decimal Places" needs to have a lower number than Length, otherwise it will fail.
