Add custom control in field group SAP fiori elements for odata v2

[akki_gt]

Hello Experts,

Was following the documentation as mention here to add a custom control in the object page form/field group. I have created a fragment and mentioned it in the manifest.json file as mentioned in the documentation for OData V2. However, I am unable to get it to work. I have passed the id of the field group which is created using CAP annotations as follows

FieldGroup #CustomType : {
 $Type : 'UI.FieldGroupType',
 Data: [],
 Label : 'Custom Group' 
 }

The manifest looks like

"SmartFormExtension|MyEntity|com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.FieldGroup::CustomType": {
 "className": "sap.ui.core.Fragment",
 "fragmentName": "com.my.namespace.ext.view.CustomField",
 "type": "XML"
 }

Also the Fragment is as follows

<core:FragmentDefinition xmlns:core="sap.ui.core" xmlns="sap.m">
 <Input visible="{= ${ui>/editable}}" value="{registrationID}">
 <layoutData>
 <FlexItemData growFactor="1" alignSelf="Center" />
 </layoutData>
 </Input>
</core:FragmentDefinition>

This facet is not rendered at all. Could not find any other documentation apart from the one mentioned above. Kindly guide on the right steps.

Thanks & Regards,

Got it working by referencing id of the facet.
