Metadata extension facet invisible in create mode

[former_member140343]

Hi Experts,

I am facing a issue in Fiori APP developed using Backend BOPF enabled CDS:

I have a Header view and its Item View. We have made Item view as table.

We have created different facets for both Views using metadata extensions. The issue i am facing is: when i am in Create mode item facet is invisible however when i am in display or edit mode for an existing record i can see both facet.

Kindly help!

Is it a draft enabled OData service? or a normal one (without draft table)

Hi maheshkumar.palavalli,

its non draft enabled Odata service. DB table has following fields :

Header->

MANDT - KEY
RULEID - KEY
RULEDESC - NON Key
SEQUENCENUM - NON KEY

Item ->

MANDT - KEY
RULEID - KEY

Itemno. - Key
itemdesc - NON Key
SEQUENCENUMitem - NON KEY

Thanks for providing more info. madhu.omer.

The issue is,for the non draft scenarios, we cannot create items and header together, same for edit mode also, when editing the header, items will only appear in display mode (creation of items is not allowed).

For this reason, draft is introduced, so we can create/edit header & items together.

In short, it's the behaviour of the fiori elements app not to display the items in create mode or make the items editable in edit mode.

I suggest you to switch to draft enabled cds views for better fiori element experience.

Thanks,

Mahesh
