Issue in Binding Children in sap.suite.ui.commons.ProcessFlow

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We are trying to design a process flow with UI control sap.suite.ui.commons.ProcessFlow and we are struck in binding children node. Please could you help how to bind children along with other fields. We have created expanded entity set and bind the children and it is showing error as [object object] is not expected, expected is any[]. How do we build type any[] in backend or Is there a way to format in Frontend itself? Thanks in advance

Regards,

Karthick

You need to provide the code where you are doing the binding and what kind of data you are passing there as well.

Hello Karthick,

Did you manage to solve that issue with Children object ?. I have similar issue and I am stuck trying to find a solution ?

Thanks,

Hi MUTHUKANNAN MUTHUKUMARAN,

Just for your information, you need to put that code using the code option in the toolbar, the code will be formatted and readable. Answer section is only to propose solution and for replying, click on comment and you can reply 🙂

Now coming to your issue, please put the screenshot of the error. judging from the error you have pasted, it looks like you are passing object at some place instead of an arrry. so better attach the error screenshot.
