HI @C_SAP_ForumUser,
Thank you for your suggestion. I implemented the solution exactly as recommended using both extension points:
SWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_DEFSWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_EVAL
The custom workflow condition is successfully displayed in Manage Workflows for Purchase Requisitions.
However, I am facing an issue while trying to provide F4 Value Help for the custom parameter.
What I have tested
1. Without OData configuration
Parameter contains only:
- id
- name
- shorttext
- xsd_type
- mandatory
- ddic_type
Result
- Input field is displayed.
- No F4 help is available
2. Using a Custom CDS View (Scenario = Value Help)
I created a custom CDS View based on I_PurchaseRequisitionType and published it successfully.
Configured in SWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_DEF:
service_path
entity
property
Result
- The parameter input field disappears completely.
3. Using SAP Standard Workflow Value Help
Instead of the custom CDS, I used the standard workflow service:
- Service:
S_MMPURWORKFLOWVH_CDS - EntitySet:
C_PurReqnTypeForWorkflow - Property:
PurchasingDocumentType
I verified from the $metadata that:
- Service exists
- EntitySet exists
- Property exists
However, after assigning the property in the parameter definition, the workflow UI no longer displays the input field.
Summary of my observations
Configuration Result
| id + name + mandatory | Input field displayed |
| + ddic_type | Input field displayed |
| + service_path | Input field displayed |
| + entity | Input field displayed |
| + property | Input field disappears completely |
It appears that the Workflow framework rejects the parameter once the property is specified.
My Question
Has anyone successfully implemented an F4 Value Help for a custom workflow condition parameter in SWF_WORKFLOW_CONDITION_DEF?
If yes, could you please share:
- Whether a standard or custom OData service was used?
- Does the property require additional ValueList/Common.ValueList annotations?
- Is F4 Help currently supported for custom workflow condition parameters in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, or is this a framework limitation?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Bluesky
