UWL | Display CustomAttribute as dropdown menu

[Huber, Daniel]

Hello all,

I currently try to display a custom attribute (taken from workflow
container) as a dropdown menu.
Using Menu/MenuItem elements within the display attribute definition
results in the correct display of the custom attribute's value, but
there is no dropdown menu.

So, I assume the definitions of custom attribute and display attribute
are OK, but there's something wrong with the menu definition.
Unfortunately I cannot find any examples for this construct, but the one
in the DTD documentation which just uses the predefined attribute
'priority'
(https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/uw/com/sap/netweaver/bc/uwl
/doc-files/uwldtd.html#Menu).


A fragment of my current XML configuration is added below.
I already stumbled across DisplayAttribute at type being 'user' in the
example and 'string' in my configuration. But the current DTD does not
allow 'user' any longer.
