To add a drop-down to a Fiori Elements application with Gateway OData annotations, you can make use of the UI annotations defined in the OData service metadata. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Open the Gateway OData service in the SAP Gateway Client (transaction code: /IWFND/GW_CLIENT).
Navigate to the EntitySet for which you want to add the drop-down.
Locate the relevant property in the EntitySet and check if it has a corresponding Enumeration Type defined in the OData service.
If an Enumeration Type is defined, note down its name. If not, you'll need to define a new Enumeration Type in the OData service to represent the values for the drop-down.
Open the Service Implementation (SEGW) for the OData service in the SAP Gateway Client (transaction code: /IWBEP/REG_UTIL).
Find the EntitySet you want to enhance and open it.
Locate the property for which you want to add the drop-down.
In the Properties tab, find the Semantics field and set it to Enumeration:${EnumerationType}. Replace ${EnumerationType} with the name of the Enumeration Type you identified earlier.
Save and activate the changes to the service implementation.
Regenerate and recompile the service implementation classes.
Now, go to the SAP Fiori Elements application and refresh the metadata.
The drop-down should now be visible for the property you annotated with the Enumeration Type.
Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on the version of SAP Gateway and SAP Fiori Elements you are using. Also, make sure you have the necessary authorization to make changes to the OData service and Fiori Elements application.
