Custom Entity Action: How to insert a new record?

[AliJlan]

Hi everyone,

I’ve created a custom entity in ABAP Cloud and used a query implementation, which works fine for reading data.

Now, I’m trying to define an action on this entity that should insert a new record — basically, I want the action to increase the number of entries.

However, after running the action, no new record is added, even though there are no errors.

Is it possible to insert data inside an action for a custom entity? Or is there a better approach for this kind of logic?

If yes, could you please share an example? I’ve been struggling with this and would really appreciate some help.

Thanks a lot!

MODIFY ENTITY ZBTCTR_CE_INCOMING

CREATE FROM lt_ins

FAILED DATA(lt_failed) REPORTED DATA(lt_reported) MAPPED DATA(lt_mapped).

what is that entry you are trying to add? it is your custom entity?

Yes, the entry I'm trying to add is my own custom entity, defined by define custom entity. I'm just trying to explore if possible to insert data via action.
