SAPUI5, XML: Adding Confirmation Popover for Action (with Parameter)

[y-ay]

Hey! 🙂

Goal:
After clicking on the “myAction” action, a confirmation popup should appear.

This documentation already contains the solution. But if you read the tip at the top, you will see that this is not possible for actions with parameters.

Action Definition:

action myAction result [1] $self;

Annotation in XML file (metadata.xml):

I have added the second line. The other lines were generated automatically.

<Action Name="myAction" EntitySetPath="abc" IsBound="true">
    <Annotation Term="com.sap.vocabularies.Common.v1.IsActionCritical" Bool="true"/>
    <Parameter Name="abc" Type="typeName" Nullable="false"/>
    <ReturnType Type="typeName" Nullable="false"/>
</Action>

That didn't work. Now I'm looking for a solution.

Hi,

Not sure why are you adding this annotation in your metadata. It must be added in your Local annotation file in UI5 project. 

This works with Target within which you must put the path of your action/function import.

If this doesn't work, you can manually add controller extension and handle the press using your custom code to show the dialog.
