Drop Down Values

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have added a custom field on the cost center screens as a dropdown list field. When I view the field f4 help values, the field descriptions are poping up. I would like to see the Field values when I click on drop down rather than descriptions. could you please let me know if there is a way that i missed.

Thanks

Sapna

Hi Kiran,

Please let me know how can I display values for the field.

Thanks,

Hi Sapna,

in my knowledge there is now way to display only the key values on a drop-down list.

However, if you flag the option "Display the key" your drop-down list is populated with values containing both description and key.

Best,

Riccardo

It will be dependent on the search help specified in the data model. Please see below for standard example. GEWEI_MAT uses search help GEWEI_F4_MASS as specified in the attributes of the data model:

You can then look in SE11 under the relevant search help to see the output settings:

As you can see on this example. MSEHI (the unit) and MSEHL (the description) are both output on the list in that order. DIMID (type of UoM) is used as a filter value but is not output on the search help, as seen by the '0' on list and select positions.

If the search help you are using is not providing the required output...create your own, or enhance it. And then specify it's use in the data model.

I created a document outlining the process for you:
