Fiori Elements List - Add and Implement Action Button Pawan_Kesari Active Contributor ° 05-31-2019 1:07 PM 32 Kudos Recently, | worked on a requirement where we had to add an action button on Fiori Elements List Report. Looked at various options but nothing seems straightforward. UIS Demo Kit suggests using UI5 Extensions which | wanted to avoid if | could. There are some annotations related to function import which looked promising but | couldn't find any blog/help document on how to actually use them in CDS and implement in the OData service. Then | saw actions using BOPF, but this report which | was working didn’t have any business object attached to it. Looking at some SAP standard apps | finally figured out how to achieve this without UIS extension in Web-IDE. For the purpose of this blog, I'll use tried and tested flight data model. You should be able to replicate the solution in your system using the code I've provided. Code Edit Feb-2020 : Added fields IsActiveCancelFlight and IsActiveKeepFlight in nitps:community sap.comfSitechnology-blogs-by-membersfr-slements-ist-adé-ancmplement-action-nttonfba-p/13413880 140owas, 1949 Fri Elements List Add and Implement Action But... SAP Community CDS ZI_FlightConnections. Added ABAP code in method ADD_ACTION towards the end to add action-for and applicable-path annotations. Introduction In this blog I'll show you how to add action button(s) on Fiori Element List Page without making UIS extension in Web-IDE or using BOPF. Setting the Scene In this Fiori Elements List report app, | am going to display a list of flight connections (from table SPFLI) and I'll show to how to add actions which we can use to cancel the flight and reverse the cancellation. In part 1 of the blog, we will see basic implementation. To keep blog manageable (for me) | am going to keep additional features like message handling, enable/disable action buttons in part 2 of the blog. As a starting point, I have this Fiori Elements List App which is based on CDS View. | have exposed CDS View via SEGW using Data Source Reference.

You are absolutely right, with BOPF the way of defining and implementing action is different than how | have done in the blog. Blog will however apply to use cases where you might not have BOPF( e.g transaction processing is not enabled in CDS). MPC_EXT and DPC_EXT classes are there to be redefined so if needed for a given scenario/requirement then we should redefine methods in these classes.

SAP Community Hi Pawan, Not sure why but on my S/4HANA version (1809), I needed to change the MPC_EXT file to forcefully change boole_d active field to edm.boolean like so for the annotation “sap:applicable-path=" to be added to the metadata (after this, it works as expected and disables the button): DATA(lo_type) = model->get_entity_type( iv_entity_name = gc_zc_mm_myopenpurchaseorderst). DATA(lo_prop) = lo_type->get_property( iv_property_name = ‘IsActiveClosePO!tem'). lo_prop->set_type_edm_boolean( ). But much better doing this than adding an extension IMO. ‘One question - Is there any way to create an action like this that "deletes" the row without needing to adjust any UI5 code? e.g. My action closes a Purchase Order, and I'd like to remove it from the list - For now, I'm just hiding the action once they close it, and when they next refresh it will disappear - Not a biggy but just on the off chance.
