Custom Fields CPM

[janet_hayes4]

Has anyone been successful with adding new custom fields to CPM (Issues, Risks, Request for Change and Checklists)? What was your method?

Hi

Unfortunately there is no standard enhancement available for CPM to add custom fields. Only option is to make changes to standard webdynpro app and store the details in a custom table. Enhancing the standard table will be a nightmare.

There is no standard enhancement available to add custom fields on the screen for Issues & CR, Risk, and Checklist. To add any custom fields, the web dynpro application is to be enhanced and also an append structure has to be added to the corresponding standard tables. But any changes to the standard structure may have to be handled at multiple places.

Since the CRUD operation is handled by the BOPF framework, the Business objects has to be re-generated post making any changes to the standard structure. 

Please note that these changes are not recommended by SAP as it may lead to multiple issues in standard if the enhancements are not done properly. The same has been highlighted by @AbdulKandy as well.
