Change Request and Buttons missing when using custom Configuration

Dear experts,

I'm configuring the Vendor Like UI for MDG that uses the application BS_OVP_BP and configuration BS_OVP_SP_LVC.

I deep-copied BS_OVP_SP_LVC into a new one ZK_BS_OVP_SP_LVC and did no changes at all.

When the system is configured to use the original SAP configuration BS_OVP_SP_LVC everything looks OK:

and the Buttons and the Change Request section appear properly

The issue comes when I flip the configuration for the application to my newlly copied one:

in this case the actual webdynpro configuration opens, but the Buttons and the Change Request section are missing.

Is there anything I can do to have my configuration work properly and see the buttons and the CR section?

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Boris
