CAP + Fiori elements V4 to handle external service without draft

Hello

We are facing many cases where we need to implement a CAP + Fiori Elements V4 application to handle data from external services, for example S4 Cloud, Cloud for customer (CX), etc.

Basically: list report apps for the remote entites, with complete CRUD operations. We want Fiori Elements V4 for flexible extendibility. The issue is that it is not really usable because of the mandatory draft functionality.

Is there a way to get around it? How would you implement such use cases?

Thanks,

Zsolt

Very good point you raise here! Draft makes the combination with a remote service challenging.

I see two possibilities:

1) you don’t use draft and only use fiori elements for the list report. For the detail, you create a custom ui5 app without draft functionality 

2) define an entity and overwrite the read for fetching the data from the remote service and do the same for the create. At the moment, the user saves the draft data you send it to the remote service ( I guess it won’t be as easy as I explain it and might come with some challenges)
