Hello all,
System spec : Cloud App Studio and ByD 1402
My goal is the following: I want to reuse a built-in field in other Work centers.
This field is the Material's "Detail", in the Product Portfolio work center, Material General Identification view. See screenshot 1.
So I tried to do an extension field relating to this field in order to incorporate my extension field in others WC (as Lead, Opportunity, etc).
But the problem is I cannot find a "Details" under the Material BO in the Cloud Application Studio. I did find a Short Description and a Medium Description, but they are not the field I want.
Actually I think the field I want is under the TextCollection node, as represented in the 2nd screenshot.
But here is another problem: there is NO Documentation from SAP for this node and everything under, as if it was not maintained.
Besides, the Documentation of the 1402 mentions that a string is limited to 255 if we define it as EXTENDED. But here, in the "Details" field, we have far more than 255 characters, which warns me that this "Details" might not be string. How did they do it?
Anyway, I tried to dive in the TextColllection node by coding, even if no Documentation is available. But what was my surprise when I find that Text Collection node under the root node is not existing. When I try to complete the code, the TextCollection is never mentioned by the auto-completion, and if I write it manually, it refuses this node, saying "Cannot find TextCollection under root node".
I know I could create my own BO extension and tell the customer to fill the extension field and not the built-in details, but this behavior of ByD is strange. It is far more vanilla to reuse existing fields and extend them in others WC. Creating new ones is not according to me.
Did somebody already face this issue?
How can we use this Node? if it is possible.
Is the "Details" field I require in another BO or node?
Thank you all for your attention.
Best regards.
