Inputfield: where is DisplayAsText and InputPrompt

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have one question please:

I have placed into my view an Inputfield and want to change the attribute "DisplayAsText" or "InputPrompt".

During my reserch I found that with EhP2 these attributes are possible to use.

Unfortunately I cannot find them at all, even though we have EhP4.

Does anybody has an idea?

Thanks a lot,

Simon

I think there is some confusion about release levels. These features are new in NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2. I believe you are confusing ERP Enhancement Package levels with NetWeaver Enhancement Package levels.

NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 2 only comes to ERP as of ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 5. When you say you have EhP4, I can only assume you mean ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4 (since there is no NetWeaver Enhancement Package 4 yet). If you are on ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 4, then you have NetWeaver 7.0 Enhancement Package 1. You won't have these new UI element properties until you update to ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 5/NetWeaver Enhancement Package 2.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I was indeed confused because of this information I found:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/54/07ec96bd5a4764be4996fff231b4de/content.htm

But this note seems to refer to nwpi71, which we obviously don't have.

Dear Simon,

My best advise is for you to write a note to SAP.

:o(

I would love to give you a better advise... but I have really no idea why is this happening with your WD.

Never had that issue myself.

Maybe our SDN colleagues can provide a better answer than the one I'm giving you.

(would love to know if there's any "magic" trick behind this myself)

;o)

Kind Regards

Dear Simon,

I've never experienced that situation myself.

That is rather strange and it shouldn't happen, as far as I know.

Here's a screen shot from my system, I have EHP5 and all those attributes are there

Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I can't believe it either:
