It is finally possible to extend Fiori apps in BAS! Don’t get me wrong, extending using adaptation project is already possible for a while now. Unfortunately, this does not work for legacy applications like Leave Request for example. This was only possible using Web IDE until recently. Many have been asked about it this:
SAP Notes provided Web IDE as a workaround: https://me.sap.com/notes/0003339102
Nevertheless, it is finally possible to extend legacy applications from in BAS! 🥳
Although this has been explained in the SAP Help documentation and SAP released a note that refers to this documentation, I still was a bit confused on how to get started. It wasn’t immediately clear to me that you have to start from an Adaptation Project (maybe I had to read the documentation better) and I had to search to get to the extension menu.

In this blog post I want to make everyone aware that it is now possible in BAS and enrich the documentation with some screenshots to get started:
Once the extension project is generated, you can start creating extensions.
Happy extending!
