There are frequent questions why "Custom Field" option is disables when the Details are not saved while creating an Role via BRM application.
- The Details (First Phase) are becoming mandatory because the Role ID is required to initiated the BADI IF_GRFN_API_CUSTOMFIELD_BADI, then BADI can become active on the Fields that are desired by Custom Fields.
- Logically the Post Exit method POPULATE_ROLE_ATT in ZFILL_ROLERELAT_CUSTFIELDS is not called when creating a role in BRM application. Because the Role ID is required for the second phase.
- The functionality flows, first phase the basic attributes of the Role eg Role Name has to be defined and in second phase enhanced attributes would be defined like Owners/Approvers then BADI for Customer Fields is called.
