3744756 - Wildcard '*' not recognized when entered in text area for business roles restrictions - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Symptom

Entering or pasting wildcard values such as "G2*" directly into the restriction text area is not recognized or synchronized to the range area.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Maintain Business Roles application.
  2. Open a business role and navigate to Restrictions for a relevant field.
  3. In the restriction editor, enter or paste a wildcard value (for example, a prefix followed by an asterisk) directly into the text area.
  4. Save or attempt to synchronize, the value is invalid. Observe that the value is not interpreted and is not reflected in the range area.
  5. Enter the same wildcard in the range area; observe that it is accepted and then shown in the text area.

Cause

The current product behavior does not recognize the asterisk (*) as a wildcard when it is entered directly in the restriction text area. The wildcard is only applied when maintained via the range area.

Resolution

The current product behavior does not recognize the asterisk (*) as a wildcard when it is entered directly in the restriction text area. The wildcard is only applied when maintained via the range area.

Input the value in the range area instead.
