Whenever I use a custom action, it opens a new object page after performing the action

[sahu10114]

I have a custom action which changes the status of a line item. Pressing the button for the custom action successfully changes the status but then it opens a blank object page (uuid full of 0s) in read only mode. How do I avoid this problem?

following is the custom action metadata extension.

@UI.lineItem: [ {
    position: 10 ,
    importance: #MEDIUM,
    label: 'Invno'
  },{ 
    type : #FOR_ACTION,
    dataAction: 'setInvnoAction',
    label: 'Set Invno.'
  } ]

Behavior implementation

METHOD setinvnoaction.

    MODIFY ENTITIES OF zr_10_inv_tab IN LOCAL MODE
      ENTITY zr_10_inv_tab
      UPDATE FIELDS ( status )
      WITH VALUE #( FOR key IN keys
                       ( %tky = key-%tky %cid_ref = key-%cid_ref status = 'X' 
    ) ).
ENDMETHOD.

Behavior definition

action setInvnoAction result[1] $self;

You have to either declare the action to not return a result or fill results if you have declared that it will return results. See the RAP tutorial for custom actions for how to fill result with the instance the action is acting on.

I tried filling the result structure as per the article but that didn't solve the problem.

If "it opens a blank object page (uuid full of 0s)", it is definite that the result is not filled by the implementation.

debug and check if result struc is getting filled or not. its high chance that %param structue was not filling.
