Symptom
- In apps such as “Manage Supplier Line Items” and “Post Outgoing Payments,” enabling “Hide (All) Unselected” in Column Settings causes the total columns count to change incorrectly.
- The denominator in the Columns header reflects only the selected/visible columns instead of the total available columns.
- Example: shows “Columns (11/11)” instead of the expected “Columns (11/211)”.
Environment
- Product: SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
- SmartControls
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the app (for example, Manage Supplier Line Items or Post Outgoing Payments) and navigate to the details where Column Settings are available.
- Open Column Settings (Settings button).
- Enable “Hide (All) Unselected”.
- Observe the Columns header count; the denominator reflects visible columns instead of total available columns.
Cause
Resolution
The "new" behavior in 2608 is the correct and expected way of working. Therefore the column header should show 10/10 instead of 10/71 which was previously the case. A more detailed explanation:
The column visibility dialog distinguishes between visible and hidden columns using checkboxes — checked rows represent columns currently shown in the table. The first number in the header count reflects how many of those columns are currently visible (checked).
The second number is intended to show the total number of columns available in the dialog — but this total should dynamically reflect the current filter state. In other words, if you filter the dialog rows, the second number should update to show only how many columns match your filter criteria, not the overall total of all columns in the system.
In previous versions, this distinction was not apparent because filtering was not available, so the total was always the same. With the more advanced filtering capabilities, the behavior has been intentionally updated and previous bugs (e.g. in comparison to 2606) were updated: the total now reflects the filtered result rather than the absolute count of all columns. This is the designed and expected behavior, not a defect.
