Fiori Element Filter with hardcoded value

[former_member750119]

Hey colleagues,

Our team is developing a UI application with Fiori Element & Odata v4.

We have a requirement for adding Selection Field (Drop down filter) with hardcoded value. (e.g. To have a Status Filter with value in [New, In Progress, Failed])

Now we have the filter with <Annotation Term="UI.SelectionFields">, it works but we have the duplicated selection.

Our table has 21 results, and the status filter will have 21 values.

<Annotations Target="sap.odata.ApiTransaction/Status"> <Annotation Term="Common.Label" String="{@i18n>recStatus}" /> <Annotation Term="Common.ValueList"> <Record Type="Common.ValueListType"> <PropertyValue Property="CollectionPath" String="ApiTransaction"/> <PropertyValue Property="DistinctValuesSupported" Bool="true"/> <PropertyValue Property="SearchSupported" Bool="true"/> <PropertyValue Property="Parameters"> <Collection> <Record Type="Common.ValueListParameterInOut"> <PropertyValue Property="LocalDataProperty" PropertyPath="Status" /> <PropertyValue Property="ValueListProperty" String="Status" /> </Record> </Collection> </PropertyValue> </Record> </Annotation> <Annotation Term="Common.ValueListWithFixedValues" Bool="true" /> </Annotations>

I have tried with Annotation ValueList & ValueListWithFixedValues, but it doesn't meet the requirement.

I've tried extension in manifest.json, with combobox in a fragment. I can get the combobox with fixed value. But my extended filter can't get attached to the original FE odata search.

Anyone can give me any advice?

Thanks,

Howard

Finally, I got the solution.

We implement the enum entity set in our backend OData server. And use that enum set as CollectionPath in valuList.

The TransactionStatus is the enum entity set.

<Annotations Target="sap.odata.ApiTransaction/Status"> <Annotation Term="Common.Label" String="{@i18n>recStatus}" /> <Annotation Term="Common.ValueList"> <Record Type="Common.ValueListType"> <PropertyValue Property="CollectionPath" String="TransactionStatus"/> <PropertyValue Property="Parameters"> <Collection> <Record Type="Common.ValueListParameterInOut"> <PropertyValue Property="LocalDataProperty" PropertyPath="Status" /> <PropertyValue Property="ValueListProperty" String="Value" /> </Record> </Collection> </PropertyValue> </Record> </Annotation> <Annotation Term="Common.ValueListWithFixedValues" Bool="true" /> </Annotations>

It works fine. We got the filter as we expected.
