0PLANT input help on variable does not show medium text

[ParagJain]

We would like the medium text to be shown for input help for a variable for 0PLANT but it still shows the default text (see screenshot below).

Note that in the filter option for the characteristic, the input help shows medium text correctly. For the variable, it still shows default text. Is there a setting for the text to be show while creating a variable ?

Got it resolved via SAP Support Ticket:

It looks like the system works with the default properties of the Multiprovider. This setting overwrites the properties set in the Infoobject level.

This setting in the provider specific properties does not specify text length, the system will use the shortest available one: the short text. The query designer setting does not have an effect on this, since as with the F4 settings, the variable screen behaviour can be influenced only in two places (the second one overwrites the first one):

1. RSD1
2. Infoprovider specific properties

Therefore, we need to change the infoprovider specific properties of 0PLANT, as per our requirement (key and medium text)

SOLUTION:

In RSA1, go to the infoprovider -> search the infoprovider in which you want to change the properties  -> go to change mode ->search for 0PLANT -> context menu and select “Provider-Specific Properties”, which opens the new window of settings as below screenshot:

In this window, change the “Display” field as per the requirement (text & key as Medium text), as below screenshot.

Activate the Multiprovider and verify the values in report.
