Adding local annotations in BAS adaptation project fails

arindamseth — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 10:21:58 GMT

We are adapting app F0702A for S/4 Hana 2022 SP01. When adding local annotations to adaptation project via BAS using the documented approach, the local annotation file does not load in the preview. The documentation: https://help.sap.com/docs/bas/developing-sap-fiori-app-in-sap-business-application-studio/adding-local-annotation-files?locale=en-US

Also tried by placing the changes in manifest_appdescr file. It yields the same result.

I checked my project, that change is in the manifest.appdescr_variant file. but it works.

Could you please let me know the version of the manifest.appdescr_variant and the UI5 version for your project?

just give it a try, no harm.

I did try, but it yields the same error. Hence, I was thinking maybe it is tied to the version somehow

I have already tried exactly as you by putting the change in the manifest_appdescr file but with the same result.
