• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/FIORI_UI117 - Config Error: For field &1 List ValueHelp is set without VH Key Property ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/FIORI_UI117 Config Error: For field &1 List ValueHelp is set without VH Key Property typically indicates a configuration issue in a Fiori application where a field is set to use a Value Help (VH) but does not have the necessary key property defined. This can lead to problems when trying to retrieve or display the value help for that field.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Property: The field in question is configured to use a Value Help, but the key property that identifies the value help is not set. This is essential for the system to know which key to use when fetching the data for the value help.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Fiori app might be incomplete or incorrect, leading to this error.
  Data Model Issues: There might be issues with the underlying data model that the Fiori application is using, such as missing associations or incorrect definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Field Configuration:
  
  Go to the Fiori app configuration in the SAP Web IDE or the relevant configuration tool.
  Locate the field that is causing the error and ensure that the Value Help is correctly configured.
  Make sure that the key property for the Value Help is defined. This is usually done in the metadata of the OData service that the Fiori app is consuming.
  
  
  
  Define Key Property:
  
  If the key property is missing, you need to define it. This can typically be done in the OData service definition or in the Fiori app's manifest.json file.
  Ensure that the key property corresponds to the correct field in the underlying data model.
  
  
  
  Check OData Service:
  
  Verify that the OData service being used by the Fiori app is correctly set up and that it exposes the necessary entities and properties.
  Test the OData service independently (e.g., using the SAP Gateway Client) to ensure it returns the expected data.
  
  
  
  Re-deploy the Application:
  
  After making the necessary changes, re-deploy the Fiori application to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Fiori documentation for specific guidelines on configuring Value Help and key properties.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Fiori Elements: If you are using Fiori Elements, ensure that the annotations in your OData service are correctly defined, as these annotations dictate how the UI behaves.
  SAP Gateway: Familiarize yourself with the SAP Gateway and how it handles OData services, as this is crucial for troubleshooting issues related to data retrieval.
  SAP Community: If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to the SAP Community or forums for additional support and insights from other users who may have encountered similar problems.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the configuration error related to the Value Help in your SAP Fiori application.
