CDS and Fiori Elements (CAP Variety): How to hide fields from sort.

[former_member677858]

Hi experts,

I'm working on a CAP project with a Fiori Elements UI. I have a description field for a product. I want to display this on the Object Page, but I don't want any reference to it to show up in tables. I'm not sure how to do this though.

Annotation @UI.Hidden will hide it everywhere, including the object page. Is it possible to override this annotation for specific cases?

Or, is there a way to target @UI.Hidden specifically to sorting, as with UI.LineItem?

For example, this code hides the description field from being displayed as a table column. However, it still shows up in the filter menu AND in the sort menu.

LineItem            : [
    {
      Value : descr,
      ![@UI.Hidden]
    }
  ],

Using the annotation @UI.HiddenFilter I was able to remove the descr field from the filter menu. However, I could not find a matching annotation for the sort menu.

I tried using a similar format for LineItem by assigning [![@UI.Hidden] as below:

PresentationVariant : {
    Text           : 'Default',
    SortOrder      : [{Property : descr, ![@UI.Hidden]}],
    Visualizations : ['@UI.LineItem']
  },

However, this also had no effect on the UI. Is there a way to meet my requirement here, or does CDS and Fiori Elements not yet support this functionality?

Thank you very much for your time!
