Hi Naveen,
Thanks for sharing this document.
But I got one issue, After pressing the Test button as shown in step 9, I am getting a blank window. So what can be the issue?
Please help me out.

Nice, I see it has options for Create/update. Can we see an example of that? How would an update look to an object that has multiple levels?
Dear Β Naveen,
Thanks for the blog post.
We created a oData service for a custom business object.
We tried to do CRUD on the created oData service from SAP Cloud Applications studio.
But we are getting "CSRF Token Validation Failed" error in POST.
It seems that a new csrf token is generated for each request from the cloud application studio.
How should we handle that?
Best Regards,

Hi Benny Huang
You can use Postman Application instead of ODATA Console in the Browser.
