Hi Sabari,
the format changed after a few years. Now, unfortunately, only dropdowns are available for this pattern.

Popup In other action

Hi, is it possible to add a popup to a custom action that is used to create sales orders? I'm trying, but the popup isn't appearing.

Hi Micuzzu, that's the same, like in this article. What is your backend release? In older releases the Pop-up is not working correctly.
Greetings Björn
Popup with list

Is it possible to show a popup that includes also an editable list/grid with 3-4 columns ?

No that's actual not possible, If you want to build more complexe popups you have to create them per extension in the Fiori Elements App (Web IDE or BAS).
Using existing values for selected record
Just found out that although the abstract entity is not visible when using code completion (the list only shows tables and structures), it does work when entered manually.
But let's say I would like to update one non-key field in a record. With just that one field in the popup, that's the only value that will be available in the handler. None of the other fields of the selected record are there, key fields included.
To be able to update a record, I need those key values. Those need to be part of the popup. Of course they can be hidden using annotations... but they're not getting populated. Seems like a simple scenario, what option am I missing here?
Is your action static? When the action is instance based, you get the selected keys in the implementation.
Thanks for the quick reply. Turns out I didn't properly interpret the values. The key, which was a single integer field instead of multiple data fields, was correctly transferred to the local values. The action was instance based and the system works as it should.
