Enabling Sub-object Creation Through Dialog on a Non-draft Object Page

You can enable creation of sub-objects having a maximum of 8 data fields through a dialog on an object page of a non-draft aplication.

Note:

This topic is currently only applicable to SAP Fiori elements for OData V2.

You can enable this feature in the manifest setting by adding the property createWithParameterDialog and passing the properties of related entity set as follows:

Sample Code:

"createWithParameterDialog" : {
       "fields" : {
         "<fieldName>" : {"path":"<fieldname>"},
         "<fieldName>" : {"path":"<fieldname>"}
        }

With this setting, the option to create sub-objects using a dialog appears on the object page.

Sample Code:

"pages": [
           {
             "entitySet": "STTA_C_SO_SalesOrder_ND",
              "component": {
                  "name": "sap.suite.ui.generic.template.ObjectPage",
                  "settings": {
                    "showRelatedApps": true,
                     "gridTable": false,
                      "sections": {
                         "to_Item::com.sap.vocabularies.UI.v1.LineItem": {
                         "navigationProperty": "to_Item",
                          "entitySet": "STTA_C_SO_SalesOrderItem_ND",
                           "tableSettings": {
                             "createWithParameterDialog" : {
                               "fields" : {
                                 "SalesOrderItemID":{"path": "SalesOrderItemID"},
                                  "ProductID" : {"path":"ProductID"},
                                  "Quantity" : {"path":"Quantity"}
                                 }
                               }
                            }
                          }
                       }
                    }                    
                  },

Note:

• Ensure that the properties are related to the entities.

• Ensure that all the mandatory fields of the entities are part of the create dialog.

• Ensure that the application is non-draft.
