CDS annotation @ui:lineItem #WITH_URL does not work

[former_member219903]

Hello,

I am trying to show a column as a Link in a table with CDS annotations. I have followed https://help.sap.com/viewer/cc0c305d2fab47bd808adcad3ca7ee9d/7.5.9/en-US/7ef29588793445fc8cf9f0974af....

This translates correctly in the Annotation file as below.

  <Record Type="UI.DataFieldWithUrl">
                     <PropertyValue Property="Label" String="Archived link" />
                     <PropertyValue Property="Value" Path="clickInv" />
                     <PropertyValue Property="Url" Path="urlInv" />
                  </Record>

But in the view, it still shows plain text. I see that values for both clickInv and urlInv are calculated correctly. But it does not show like a link. Any pointers to solve this issue..

Thanks'

Its from cds view.

       @UI.lineItem: {
       label: 'Archived link',
        position: 70,
        type:  #WITH_URL,
        url : 'URLINV' }
       
        @ObjectModel.virtualElement: true
       @ObjectModel.virtualElementCalculatedBy: 'ABAP:ZCL_CDS_VIRTUAL_ELEMENT1'         
        cast(' ' as abap.char(100) ) as clickInv,   
         
     @ObjectModel.virtualElement: true
       @ObjectModel.virtualElementCalculatedBy: 'ABAP:ZCL_CDS_VIRTUAL_ELEMENT1'
           cast(' ' as abap.char(1300) ) as urlInv,     

This is the part of cds to show column as link. Am i missing something!!

It looks good, I hope you are using the annotations "@ObjectModel.readOnly: true" as virtual elements need them.

R u testing it in webide or direct deploy to system and testing?

I have tried with "@ObjectModel.readOnly: true". Does not help. I am writing annotations in cds and testing directly on FLP. Its a fiori elements apps for Object page which has some table data.

[former_member219903]

I have missed the annotation "qualifier" which is part of other columns. It worked now.
