Nice Nitin Padmanabhan!

Is this a new functionality or is it a new Fiori wizard and you could do this already with SAP GUI transactions?

Hello Stephan, This is a new functionality available in the 'Manage Search Models' app. You could refer to https://blogs.sap.com/2021/10/20/enterprise-search-new-features-available-in-2108-cloud-edition/ .

Hi Nitin,

Does this just work with fields added using the Custom Fields app, or is there a way to create an association to a custom CDS and expose those fields in the search?

Also, is it possible to expose additional SAP standard fields in the response? For example, could we expose PRODUCTS-LASTCHANGEDBYUSER?

Thanks,

Jon
