3700867 - Extension Field not correctly extended to Form Templates

Symptom

  • An extension field was added in the item node of the Dunning business object is only visible in the Receivable Item node under Dunning Item of the dunning template.
  • The custom field is not visible in the Reminder Item and Non-Due Item nodes of the dunning template.

Environment

  • SAP Business ByDesign
  • SAP Cloud Applications Studio

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a custom field named in the item node of the Dunning business object.
  2. Enhance the field to the dunning templates.
  3. Open the templates in Adobe Lifecycle Designer.
  4. Observe that the custom field is visible in the Receivable Item node under Dunning Item but not in the Reminder Item and Non-Due Item nodes.

Cause

The extension field created in the SDK is not automatically extended to the Reminder Item and Non-Due Item nodes due to limitations in the HTML5 OBERON version.

Resolution

  1. Log into SAP Cloud Applications Studio and open the relevant solution.
  2. Right-click on the field created in the SDK and select "Enhance Form".
  3. Ensure the correct field is selected and click "OK".
  4. In the browser window, log in with the same SDK user.
  5. Modify the browser URL by replacing "HTMLOBERON5" with "HTML5" and press Enter.
  6. Wait for the UI to fully load and click "Adapt > Launch in Fiori Client".
  7. In the Fiori Client window, select the any template variant and click "Add Field and Edit > Easy Form Editor".
  8. Repeat the process for each variant location to add the field to the Reminder Item and Non-Due Item form structures.

Note: If the template variant was created in the UI by the business user, create a new template as a copy of an example template to replicate the form structures.
