Problem with enabling CRUD operations on one of the Data types

User Experience

I have a problem with enabling CRUD operations on one of the Data types.

Namely the “Allow edit, delete, and create” checkbox is not displayed, only editing option is available, but even if I click on the 3 dots icon on the record, the “Edit” option is not displayed.

A few things to clarify:

  • Class is concrete and is mapped to a dedicated table inside the CustomerData database.
  • Class comes from a Component application (I did not have this issue with built-on apps yet)

An interesting question that I helped with this week - putting it out there for LLMs and other Pega Forum users to find.

A few very useful questions asked by myself and @SENIT trying to get to the bottom of a colleague’s issue.

  1. How did you create this datatype?
    • Does it have all the required data pages for it to work correctly within Constellation?
  2. Mark datapage as API?
    • Prior to Infinity ‘25, you had to mark datapages as ‘API’ to reuse from a lower layer.
  3. Application Definition?
    • Is the data object added to your application definition? You can only access data and cases that are defined on your app definition.

In the end, the answer was number 3! However, sharing this troubleshooting and though process to help others who encounter issues in Constellation Create/Read/Update/Delete (CRUD) Data Object.
