View Layout Cannot Bind to Newly-Created Customer Include Field

[amy_king]

Hi,

Our table LIKP includes a customer append structure. The customer append structure contains an .INCLUDE structure to which I've added a new customer field, ZZFIELD. The included structures and table LIKP are all activated with no error. In my view's context, I have created a node, DELIVERY_HEADER, defined as using dictionary structure LIKP, and I have added a new attribute to DELIVERY_HEADER for ZZFIELD  using the node's "Add Attribute from Structure" wizard.

In my view's layout, when I try to bind a UI element's value to the context attribute DELIVERY_HEADER-ZZFIELD, I receive the following error message:

Type LIKP-ZZFIELD of context element DELIVERY_HEADER.ZZFIELD in view MYVIEW does not exist.

I have tried saving and activating the entire Web Dynpro Component before attempting to bind the UI element, but I get the same error. I'm guessing there must be some other step I need to do to table LIKP so that the newly added customer field can be seen by Web Dynrpo ABAP. Any ideas?

Cheers.

So the solution turned out to be: Restart the SAPgui. Once I logged out of the SAPgui and logged back in, the new LIKP field was suddenly visible to the Web Dynpro Component. I have noticed sometimes WDA gets out of sync with itself and benefits from logging out and back in again.

Thanks for this.   After all these years in the I.T. Industry I still need someone to tell me to "turn it off and on again".

Might be you can try to adjust the database table using the TCODE SE14.

Thx

Hi Phani,

Good suggestion, but no, that didn't resolve the error. To be sure, after adjusting the table via SE14 I removed ZZFIELD from the view layout and context, activated the whole Web Dynpro Component, then added ZZFIELD back to the DELIVERY_HEADER context node, but the same error occurs.

Cheers.
