Hi ByD studio forum,
recently one of the ByD solution partner raised an interesting questing regarding context dependant codelists. I create this thread to share the question and the answers (provided by Thomas Schneider) to it with the community.
Most of the ByD codelists are context independant and contain a list of unique values. Some of the codelists (i.e. WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode) are context dependant and the code value is only unique within a certain context, i.e. country, region.
Example - WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode:
| List ID | Code Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AT | 1 | Hourly |
| AT | 2 | Salaried Employee |
| AT | 3 | Manager |
| AU | 1 | Hourly |
| AU | 2 | Salaried Employee |
| AU | 3 | Manager |
| BE | 1 | Hourly |
| BE | 2 | Salaried Employee |
| BE | 3 | Manager |
| BR | 1 | Salaried Employee |
In a custom BO a element typed with an context dependant codelist is defined and should be placed on a custom UI.
import AP.Common.GDT as apCommonGDT;
businessobject CodeListMapping_Test {
element CustomerWorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode : WorkAgreementAdministrativeCategoryCode;
}
In UI-Designer however is the required ListID not available by default:
So how can a ByD studio developer deal with context dependant codelist?
Best regards,
Ralf
