WDA - customer text in field label in Layout

Hi,
I need to display the customer text in field label in Layout. Currently field label text is coming from OTR.
OTR PAOC_RCF_UI_SELF_SERVICES/MIDDLE_NAME has text Second Name. My customer wants to display Middle Name instead of Second Name.
How can I fulfill my customer requirement without modyfying WD Component?
Regards,
...Naddy

Hi Naddy,
U can achieve it by enhancing the component , write a post exit for the wdmodifyview
in that .. for first_time get the UI element and set the text as u want.......

Easy way to change field label for all UIs?

How would a customer change a field label for all UIs that use this field/attribute, which is not really a translation?
What I was able to find seems to be that we would need to edit Resource Bundles and that it will be much easier in Release 8:
1. Section More on Resource Bundles in https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel/entry/translating_your_customizations has this key passage:
This is an industry open standard (OASIS) format XML file with the extension .xliff, and store translated values for the strings used by ADF at run-time. The general process is that these values are exported from the MDS repository, manually edited, and then imported back in again.This needs to be done by an administrator, via either WLST commands or through Enterprise Manager as per the screenshot below. This is detailed out in the Fusion Applications Extensibility Guide.
2. That blog posting also says this will get easier in Release 8:
Currently planned for Release 8 is something called the User Interface (UI) Text Editor. This tool will allow the editing of all the text shown on the pages and forms of Fusion Application. This will provide a search based on a particular term or word, say “Worker”, and will allow it to be adjusted, say to “Employee”, which then updates all the Resource Bundles that contain it.
3. I found the video How To Customize Field Labels but it seems that is one UI label at a time...

Hi vedette and Uchiha.
while we cannot talk here about features of future releases, rest assured we are working on material that will help you understand and use the functionality, from official documentation to blog posts and videos. Please keep an eye on your blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/fadevrel and our Youtube channel at http://youtube.com/FADeveloperRelations -- as soon as R8 becomes publicly available you can expect to find useful information on those sites, among them a blog post that summarizes new features that are important for developers and then more indepth coverage.
Thanks for your patience.

PCUI - CRM - Text (Field Label) Replacement

Hi Friends,
I want to change the Field Label displayed on the PCUI.
In PCUI the field label displayed, is the value taken from the Medium Text of that field's respective Data Element in DDIC. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now for example - I want to replace 'Sold-To Party' field label as 'Buyer Site', how can I achieve this without modifying the data element's medium text ?.
I tried using Text Replacement Tool (trans CRMST62), but it reads values from Header, Short text, but not from the medium text. And also it is time consuming as it runs several background job process.
Does PCUI Applications stores field labels in any table ? Or is there any config available by which we can insert field labels in the PCUI Application.
Thanks
Harsh

Hi everybody,
with a little modifcation it works fine.
See below, how I have implemented it.
Cheers,
Marc
<b>Note:</b>
Necessary modification is supposed to causing no problems during upgrade.
<b>Realization:</b>
- Customizing table controls text labels in user interface of CRM application
- Maintenance via customizing view
1. Create customizing table 'ZMAL_DDIC_C'
MANDT type MANDT
TABNAME type TABNAME
FIELDNAME type FIELDNAME
2. Create text table for language dependent text 'ZMAL_DDIC_CT'
MANDT type MANDT
TABNAME type TABNAME
FIELDNAME type FIELDNAME
LANGU type SPRAS
SCR_TEXT_S type SCRTEXT_S
SCR_TEXT_M type SCRTEXT_M
SCR_TEXT_L type SCRTEXT_L
3. Create method 'get_fieldtext()'
Porperties: static and public
Parameters: I_FIELD_LIST importing type DDFIELDS
            R_FIELD_LIST returning type DDFIELDS
method get_fieldtext.
DATA: field_itab type ddfields,
      ddic_ct_struc type zmal_ddic_ct,
      ddic_ct_itab like table of ddic_ct_struc.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <field_struc> type dfies.
field_itab[] = i_field_list[].
loop at field_itab assigning <field_struc>.
at first entry we look for new lables in our
customizing table
if sy-tabix = 1.
select * from zmal_ddic_ct
into table ddic_ct_itab
where tabname = <field_struc>-tabname
    and langu   = <field_struc>-langu.
endif.
check if an individual lable exists
read table ddic_ct_itab
into ddic_ct_struc
with key fieldname = <field_struc>-fieldname.
only when text in customizing table is not empty ,
replace standard text
if sy-subrc = 0.
if not ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_s is initial.
    <field_struc>-scrtext_s = ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_s.
endif.
if not ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_m is initial.
    <field_struc>-scrtext_m = ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_m.
endif.
if not ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_l is initial.
    <field_struc>-scrtext_l = ddic_ct_struc-scrtext_l.
endif.
endif.
endloop.
return edited field list
r_field_list[] = field_itab[].
endmethod.
3. Mofification
Class: CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR
Method: GET_DDIC_FIELD_LIST()
if sy-subrc <> 0.
fill cache with negative result
   cache_wa-langu     = p_langu.
   cache_wa-not_founf = abap_true.
   insert cache_wa into table me->ddfields_cache.
   raise not_found.
endif.
START INSERT
p_field_list = <own_class>=>get_field_text( i_field_list = p_field_list).
END INSERT

create data cache_wa-value.
cache_wa-value->* = p_field_list.
insert cache_wa into table me->ddfields_cache.

Project Server 2010 - create a custom enterprise project field for persons (no text, no lookup table...)

I want to create a custom enterprise project field and would like to use instead of for example a text attribute or a look-up table a field for employees (e.g. project manager) which are coming e.g. from the Active Directory. But when creating this custom
project field I cannot see such an option. What solution do you suggest as I want to avoid that everybody uses different names and spellings for e.g. the project manager and without having to fill the lookup table with all resources of the company.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Are you using Proejct Server 2007, 2010, 2013?
In case you're working with 2010 version, here is an excellent
blog about how to insert a resource picker in a PDP (project detail page).
Hope this helps,

How do I create visible field labels in a pdf form that can be overwritten by text? I have tried add

I am creating a very straight forward fillable form and want to add a description of each field that can be visible to the user, but goes away when the person enters the appropriate data in the field. I have tried to suggested custom scripts. The script command were: if (!event.value) event.value = event.target.name; and
if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.noPrint;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}. Both allow the lables to be visible but neither allow the user to either replace the label with the relevant information and if it does, then the replacing data does not print/remain viewable.
I am confident this is doable as I have seen forms that say something like "add your name here" and when you enter the data that field label is replaced with the information I enter.

Hi George,
I have tried this. What I get is a field label, and I can type into the field, but the label does not go away and the page prints blank. Should I try: if (!event.value) {event.value = event.target.name; event.target.display = display.Print;} else {event.target.display = display.visible;}, removing the .noPrint?
You have no idea how frustrating it is to try this and have such a simple function not work. Is there anothe script I can try?

How to add a custom Text Layout for a wiki page

I'd just like to know if this is even possible. Has anyone ever tried adding a custom text layout as per the attached screenshot?

IExpenses-12.1.3 Facing Issue with 2 custom text fields on the standard OAF

Dear All,
We are facing problem where custom text fields on standard OAF page does not retain their values when we traverse back-forth on the OAF page.
Here is the exact issue details
1) We added 2 text fields(Attribute5 and Attribute6) through personalization on Mileage Line Details Screen(standard OAF page) of iExpenses 12.1.3.
2) And business requirement is whenever user enters values into these fields, difference of these values is populated in third field which is standard field on that page.
Issue
When user enters values into above 2 fields, difference is calculated correctly however once he clicks on return page and comes back again on the detail page
then all the standard fields retain their values but 2 custom fields have blank value.
Is there any issue with personalization? or any other issue? Please suggest.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Thanks Pratap for checking
There is button named as "Calculate Amount" on the line details page so it is happening in below 2 scenario
1) When User enters values in 2 fields and clicks on Calculate Amount Button then values get disappeared from custom fields
2) When user clicks on return button, go to main page and clicks on detail button ( to come back on same line) then all the standard fields have valuece and custom one's disappeared.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Address Book: edit custom field labels

Is there a way to edit/delete custom field labels one created earlier. Where are the entries of custom defined field labels saved?
Thank you for any feedback

Thank you for your replies,
I understand that deselecting the custom label will make it disappear from the card but not from the list which is somewhere kept (on my iPhone I can see this list when applying a custom label). Also, when trying to re-use a custom label (on Address Book) there seems to be no option for choosing the ones used already.
Therefor I cannot edit a custom label rather than add a new one (even if it is the same); that makes the list on my iphone from which I can select a custom label every time larger as unused ones do not disappear - I am correct?

Changing Field Labels texts: What happens after Upgrade?

Hi All,
my client would like to change some field label text of domains.
The question I have is, what will happen after change of release? Will the texts be overwritten? And all have to be maintained again?
Will I know which ones have been overwritten (SPAU)?
Any comment, suggestion, experience?
Thanks in advance!
thomas

Hello,
Guess your question refers to field label texts of datatyps - because domains have only the technical data definition. Anyway - all modifications of Data Dictionary elements ( domains, datatyps, tables) are handled by transaction SPDD during upgrades. The difference to transaction SPAU is, that transaction SPDD is used during the upgrade - after the 'Test'-phase and before the 'Import'-phase.
Have a look on the documentation of SPDD- it's quite good.

Can't hide text field label..only text field

I'm trying to display text field boxes on a form to fill out when a box is checked. I'm able to do this for the actual text field, but can't figure out how to hide then show the associated text field label. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
var nHide =
event.target.isBoxChecked (0) ? display.visible:display,hidden;
this.getField ("Name").display = nHide; this.getField

First of all, you're using Acrobat JavaScript in an XFA form, which doesn't work.
LiveCycle Designer has its own interpretation of JavaScript, which is different to Acrobat.
There is also a second scripting language called FormCalc available.
Its syntax is much easier to learn and is matches perfectly to manipulate XFA forms.
Check the help (F1 button) in Designer to get the Designers scripting guide.

Adding custom text besides selection screen field

Hi All,
I need to add some custom text to the selection screen field "CtegoryID" in the Product search screen(thru the link "Internal Goods")....I sthis possible thru change os some template?If yes,which one??
Regards,
Disha.

Well...
I don't remember an existing search help with some fields using a combo-box.
In the FM assigned to the search help (the search help exit), you can pre and post process some data.
IF callcontrol-step = 'PRESEL', 'SELONE', 'SELECT'.....
But I don't see anything for seach a feature.
In conclusion, I don't think this is supported by generic search help.

How do I change the text on a label for a SAP delivered WD view

Hi,
I need to change the text that is being displayed for a label in a SAP delivered WD ABAP View. When I look at the properties for this label, the Text property is currently empty, so I assume that the text that is being displayed in the view is coming from the dictionary. I was hoping to change the text of the label via the Enhancement Framework. I created an OTR entry, then went into SE80 for the WD Component, I navigated to the view in question, I pressed the Enhance button and entered $OTR:<package>/<alias name> in the text property for the label. Finally I saved and activated and was prompted to create an Enhancement Implementation, which I did and I selected it. Everything seems to be fine (no errors or warnings). I then ran the WD application. My change was not there. I then went back into SE80 for the WD Component that I created the enhancement. I navigated to the View and looked in the text property of the label and saw that my change was not there. I repeated this process several times and each time when I added the OTR entry to the text property of the label, it saves and activates without issue (in enhancement mode), but when I run the WD App the change does not show up and when I go back to the WD View, my change to the text property is gone. I know that if I really wanted to I could register the object and add the OTR entry to the text attribute of the label, but I am trying to perform this change using a modification free enhancement. Can this be done via an Enhancement, or do I have to register the object and make my change using a modification?

Hi Gregg,
excellent question. I had the same problem as well before.
What I have learned is that you cannot change a UI Element via Enhancements.
You can add new UI Elements (e.g. new label) or remove existing elements, but you cannot change them (except the layout properties (e.g. colspan) maybe).
The only possibilities I see is
1. Remove the existing label, and add a new label with your desired text
2. Do it as a modification
3. Do it as a configuration (This means you go to the webdynpro application in SE80, right click and select "Create/Change Configuration)
4. Do it as customizing (This means you add the URL parameter sap-config-mode=X to the URL, navigate to the label, right click on it, and select "Change Settings for Current Configuration").
The disadvatages of 3) and 4) are
- texts in configurations and customizing are not translatable (as far as I know)
- if you have multiple configurations, you have to change the label multiple times
Hope this helps a bit,
Daniel

Rename the Field Label in the sales order application.

Hi,
          Please suggest me how to rename one of the field name in the sales order application.
        I have add a new field called YOUR_REF_SHIP and simultaneously have to rename it from your reference to Carrier Account No. this field is available in the filed group SLO_DETAILS_GENERAL1.
         This field is located in the General data tab of the sales order application.
I have created the Text Key in the Define Interface Texts and used the same text key in the Rename Field Label, but it is not working.
and i dont want to change it with the CMOD transaction.
Please suggest me where i have went wrong.
Thanks.
Anilkumar

Hello Anil,
The field groups are to be regenerated.
However, I have done a similar thing and in the past, the layout generation helped me. In the recent example, the name is not reflected as per the interface text.
Let me know if you find anything on this.

Priyanka

Reset button for text entry field

Hello,
How do I add a reset button that removes information entered into a text entry field?
Thanks in advanced!

Hmm, is there a reason why you don't use the Likert type of question, and have the Clear button (you can change the label to 'Reset') available? That would be a lot easier.
And if you want to create such a custom slide, why don't you use the enhanced radiobuttons widget from Jim Leichliter? I explained how to reset the radiobuttons choice it in this blog post:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-widgets-for-custom-mcq-and-tf-questi
And in this one I explained similar work flow for the extended TextArea widget. Same logic can be used for the enhanced TEB I talked about in my first answer:
http://blog.lilybiri.com/extended-textarea-widget-more-functionality
Since you are using 5.5, no output for HTML5 is possible, so you can use those widgets. Really, although I'm an Advanced Actions fan, I would never try to realize this the way you are doing it. Maybe with shared actions in 7, or with the new copy+paste functionality for advanced actions in 7.0.1 but not in 5.5. Be sure: my memory about the different versions is pretty good.
