SimpleType support in the business object editor
Enabling support for simpleTypes allows business objects to inherit from a string type (instead of only from another business object).
The new business object wizard provides this functionality.
By setting the Inherit from field to string, the business object appears in the editor as shown in the following image:
In the Properties view, the Inherit from field can only be changed to other simple types.
If that fields can not actually be added to the simpleType in the business object editor. The editor maintains the restrictions that align with the XSD complex and simple type definitions.
