• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK367 - Field &1: Define the UI.HIDDEN annotation directly in the help view ?

  The SAP error message CFD_REGISTRY_CHECK367 indicates that there is an issue with the definition of the UI.HIDDEN annotation in your SAP application. This error typically arises when the UI.HIDDEN annotation is not defined correctly in the context of a help view, which is part of the SAP Fiori/UI5 framework.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the UI.HIDDEN annotation for a specific field in the help view. This annotation is used to specify that a particular field should not be displayed in the user interface. If the annotation is not defined directly in the help view, the system raises this error to ensure that the UI behavior is consistent with the underlying data model.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to define the UI.HIDDEN annotation directly in the help view for the specified field. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the Data Model: Access the relevant CDS (Core Data Services) view or the help view where the field is defined.
  
  
  Edit the Help View: Locate the field that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Add the UI.HIDDEN Annotation:
  
  You can add the annotation in the CDS view definition. For example:
  @UI.hidden: true
  field_name
  
  Ensure that you replace field_name with the actual name of the field that you want to hide.
  
  
  
  Activate the Changes: After making the changes, activate the CDS view to ensure that the new annotation is recognized by the system.
  
  
  Test the Application: Once the changes are activated, test the application to verify that the error is resolved and that the field is hidden as expected.
