CBO automatically filling employee's name

[Former Member]

Hey guys,
is there a possibility to automatically fill employee's name to newly created record of custom business object? Now the user has to fill his name every time he/she create new record what is ineffective.

Is there some standard way or do we need developer's help?

Thank you for every your help.

Hello Saurabh,

I believe the answer is in the blog I sent you a few weeks ago to your previous question about creating CBO with mandatory fields, that part is just not highlighted because it's not the main point of the blog:

How to Create a Custom Business Object with Automatically Generated ID and Checks in SAP Marketing C...

In step 15 I'm putting to After Modification Logic of CBO line with method: cl_abap_context_info=>get_user_formatted_name

Adding this one line should solve your problem, I'm sure you can do it by yourself.
