Hello @didiaibiancheng,

For icons that are not part of the officially supported ui5 icon packages, we suggest using the approach of registering custom SVG icon collections via the registerIconLoader API we provide. You can read more about how to do it in the official documentation.

Setting Medium priority as this is not a full stopper.

@SAP/ui5-webcomponents-core, I see such a request has already been made with #10083, which has been marked as planned, but no updates regarding the status of the decision for such a feature request are provided in the ticket. So tagging you to decide how to handle this.

Best regards,
Siyana

Hello @didiaibiancheng,

Thank you for your request! Unfortunately, we don’t have plans to include FPA icons in our offering or any other LoB-specific icon collections.

I’d recommend following the approach mentioned in #10083: mirroring our icon package structure, reusing our icons build process, and publishing the built icon modules on NPM so they can be shared across SAP SAC teams. This solution, similar to the one proposed by @s-todorova, should help achieve your goal and it is feasible for v1.

Let us know if you need any guidance in this process.

Best regards,
Nayden
