Custom Entity Hierarchy Value Help

[#1]

Hello Experts,

We have a requirement to extend a Fiori application by adding a custom field with a hierarchical value help. However, the application is not released for cloud development, which means using CDS-based hierarchy value help is not supported.

As an alternative, we are considering creating the hierarchy value help using a custom entity and exposing it for consumption in the custom field as a code list based on a CDS view.

We are not sure if this approach is feasible in this scenario. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello 

True hierarchy value help is not possible because the app is not released for cloud development (no CDS hierarchy support).
Custom entity + CDS value help is feasible only as a flat code list , not hierarchical.

Build a custom CDS view / entity for value help
Use it as a code list for the custom field
Handle hierarchy logic (if needed) outside the Fiori value help (e.g., backend or UI logic)

Thanks,
Sravan
