It is not possible to change the description of the fields created using CDS in SE11. You will need to create/change the alias of the field using ABAP Development Tools using Eclipse or HANA studio.

Hello,

Annotations have only impact on the UI part and then wont reflect at the backend database tables. Based on the Data element that is being used or based on the values (CASE statements) each field gives the description of the fields get assigned.

Regards!

My question was different, i wanted to understand if our annotations have an impact on the backend views.
