Hi ,

I am a beginner in AX, need some help on the below scenario.

I have customized the standard vendor form, i have added a new grid(Table A). My requirement is, when the vendor form is initialized, i need this grid to be populated with values from a different setup table(Table B).

Can anyone suggest how i can achieve this.

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by "vendor form is initialized"? Do you mean that every time the form is opened (=init method is executed), you want to populate your Table A? That would not make much sense in my opinion. You would be just copying data from the setup table every time the form is opened.

Could you share some background and business requirement? Thanks!

Hi Adithya,

If Table B has a relation with VendTable (or any other data source in the form), you can link Table B to the form data source, set the join source and join type and display the desired row(s).

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

The requirement is, i have a setup table (Table B) in a different form which has some records.

These records must be populated in the grid(Table A) which is present in VendorTable form.

So, whenever i click on any Vendor from the All vendors page, this grid should get populated with values from Table B.

Why can't you show table B directly in the grid?

I don't see any reason why you would want to duplicate the data. Of course I'm basing my comment only on the information that you have shared.

Hi, Table B has a YesNo field. Only records with this field as YES should be populated in the grid.

You can filter the grid (or actually the data source that you use in the grid) in your code to show only those records.

Hi Adithya,

How are VendTable and Table B linked?

You can set a range on tableB init method to show only records where this field has a value "Yes".

Hi Adithya,

It is still a bit vague to me. Just having a grid with data from a setup table is not a business requirement, but probably a technical attempt to solve a customers requirement.

Can you tell the business requirement from a functional point of view?
