Dear Team,

I am unable to see the create button in fiori preview of odata.

Please check odata fiori preview screenshot.

Hi Sarath,

last time I checked the FIORI Elements UI (assuming you are using it) supports draft enabled entities only.

Try annotating your entity like this:

annotate YourService.YourEntity with @odata.draft.enabled;

its working.

Is it mandatory to have odata draft functionality for create?

It looks like it if you use FIORI Elements.

You could go for SAPUI5 or try out the old V2 apps from sap.suite.ui.generic.template:
