Symptom
- Unable to retrieve all values from a picklist entity unless a specific OptionID is selected.
- Querying all OptionIDs for a picklist entity results in incomplete data retrieval.
Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.
Environment

Reproducing the Issue
- Attempt to query all values from a picklist entity using the OData API framework.
- Use the following query example:
https:///odata/v2/PickListLabel?$filter=locale eq 'en_US' and optionId eq ''
3. Observe that only specific OptionIDs are retrieved instead of all values for the picklist entity.
Cause
Using an incorrect query.
Resolution
- Use the PickListV2 entity to retrieve all values for a picklist.
- Refer to the SAP Help Portal guide for PickListValueV2 for detailed instructions:
