According to some embodiments, a business service provider may define a stable user interface anchor entity associated with a business object data structure. A reference field may be associated with the stable user interface anchor, the reference field representing a path to a persistent node of the business object data structure. An end user adaptation to a user interface may then be applied in connection with the business object data structure, the adaptation referencing the stable user interface anchor entity.

Stable anchors in user interface to support life cycle extensions

According to some embodiments, information about a delta change package may be received. The delta change package may be, for example, associated with a customer extension project to be applied to content from a business service provider. A description tag for the delta change package may be received from a user, and the delta change package may be associated with the description tag in a repository of the business service provider.

Managing extension projects with repository based tagging

A system may include presentation, to a user, of a consuming business entity including a reference field of a business object, reception of an instruction from the user to add an extension field to the consuming business entity based on the reference field of the business object, determination of a second consuming business entity including the reference field of the business object, and presentation of the second consuming business entity to the user.

Facilitation of extension field usage based on reference field usage

A system may include reception of a definition of an extension field to be added to a business object node, generation of metadata for a data type enhancement object associated with the extension field, and generation of an ABAP dictionary proxy object based on the data type enhancement object, wherein the ABAP dictionary proxy object describes the extension field in a sub-structure of a first field of the ABAP dictionary proxy object.
