SET_VISIBLE for input field takes incorrect path

[former_member184111]

Hi Forum,

In a WD view we have a context node Header it has an attribute ZHDR_PGRP. I am trying to hide this field for some condition in WDDOMODIFYVIEW using the simple code below

DATA lr_zpgrp TYPE REF TO cl_wd_input_field.

DATA path TYPE string.

   lr_zpgrp ?= view->get_element( 'ZHDR_PGRP_ATTR' ).

   CHECK lr_zpgrp IS BOUND.

  lr_zpgrp->set_visible( 01 ).

It dumps and the description says...

Could not find attribute ZHDR_PGRP:VISIBLE

When I check the path with

   path = lr_zpgrp->bound_visible( ).

it gives path = HEADER.ZHDR_PGRP:VISIBLE which is correct.

Why is the set_visible method using the wrong path i.e.  ZHDR_PGRP:VISIBLE instead of HEADER.ZHDR_PGRP:VISIBLE and goes to short dump?

Thank you,

Anubhav

Anubhav,

provide InputField ID instead of attribute Name: 'ZHDR_PGRP_ATTR'

Hi,

lr_zpgrp ?= view->get_element( 'ZHDR_PGRP_ATTR' ).

ZHDR_PGRP_ATTR <--- This is field ID only...checked in technical info in portal..

That should be correct...

Thanks,

Anubhav

Did that using meta data but still not sure why the issue occured in first place.
