Re: How to bind a single property to a value with oDataModel?

Hi Jack

One way would be to  use BindElement in your code to set the context see JS Bin - OData BindElement example

   var url = "http://exampleurlfordataservice/zui5_purchase_order_srv/";    var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel(url, true);    sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel);    var oSearchField=  new sap.m.SearchField("sf1", {        value: '{Username}',          enabled: true,    }).placeAt("content");    oSearchField.setModel(oModel);    oSearchField.bindElement("/UI5UserParameters('USERNAME')");

Else set it statically

var oSearchField=  new sap.m.SearchField("sf1", {        value: '{/Employees(7)/FirstName}',   //Robert

Cheers
