BUG - Data in @Communication.Contact does not work with mockserver version 2.1.71

[mengmengh2022]

Description

With @sap-ux/ui5-middleware-fe-mockserve version 2.1.71, the data defined with @Communication.Contact cannot be displayed. With -fe-mockserve version 2.1.43 it is working.

We use the following annotation for build this Contact:

      { $Type : 'UI.DataFieldForAnnotation',
        Target: 'owner/@Communication.Contact',
        ....
      }
      ...
        Communication.Contact  : {
          fn    : displayName,
          email : [{
            type    : #work,
            address : email
          }],
          org   : department
        },

Hi @mengmengh2022 this is probably related to your data and how owner is defined in the metadata, is there a referential constraint defined for it ?

[mengmengh2022]

Hi Nicolas, what do you mean by "referential constraint"? How should we modify the data? What I also wonder, is why it is working with the fe-mockserver version 2.1.43.

[nlunets]

By referential constraint i mean the tag that is defined in your metadata in some case. In general the problem you describe seems to come from an incorrectly defined mockdata, so you should check whether or not a stupid algorithm might find your data (following your keys / referentiel constraints)

Hi Nicolas, we can not proceed with this information. Could you please provide more hints or provide a working example of mockdata for contact card?

Thanks and best regards, Mengmeng

@mengmengh2022 can you retry ? There was a fix recently for nullable properties that might be related to what you saw before

[mengmengh2022]

Hi Nicolas, thanks for the update. It is working with version 2.1.87.

Thanks and best regards, Mengmeng
