How to modify JavaScript file in BSP application?

[Former Member]

I need to change an existing JS file in our BSP application. So I open the package in SE80, locate the JS file to update (under "MIMEs"), right-click on it and select the first menu option "Modify". Then the file is correctly sent to my client and opened in my text editor. Now I make my changes and save the file.

The problem is that SAP says "nothing has changed", as if I would not have modified the JS file at all.

What do I need to do so that SAP recognizes that I have modified the JS file in the text editor on my client machine?

If I remember correctly, you have to Dowload the file, edit locally, then Upload.  If you bring up the context menu on the file, there should be a UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD > option.  I personally prefer to keep my .js and .css files under PAGES WITH FLOW LOGIC so I can easily edit them in the SAP Editor.
