Hi, I want to add new field on that standard Project lookup. so I created a view to get the field I want (B1_Business_Unit). This Project lookup got reference group and using referenceLookup method. Now I need to change the source projtable with the view I created in order to add the new field on the lookup. but when I try to extend the LookupReference method, they pop out an error as below and it seems like I cannot replace ProjTable with the view I created. But I need to change it so I can get the B1_Business_Unit field.

    Hi nadiah sukerman,

    Could you please share your code?

    You could use sysTableLookup.addLookupfield method to add your new field.

    Hi Will, Thanks for the reply. yeah sure, below I paste together my code. btw, systablelookup or sysreferencetablelookup? we need to use sysreferencetablelookup if reference group isnt it?

       [FormControlEventHandler(formControlStr(TrvRequisition, ProjTable_Details), FormControlEventType::Lookup)]

       public static void ProjTable_Details_OnLookup(FormControl sender, FormControlEventArgs e)

       {  

           SysReferenceTableLookup sysRefTableLookup  = SysReferenceTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension), sender);

           Query                   query           = new Query();

           QueryBuildDataSource    qbds, qbdsProjStatusTypeRule;

           QueryBuildRange         qbrHeader, qbrStatus, qbrType, qbrProjStatusRule;        

           qbds = query.addDataSource(tableNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension));

           qbds.addSortField(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, ProjId));

           qbrHeader = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Header));

           qbrHeader.value('0');

           qbrStatus = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Status));

           qbrStatus.value(SysQuery::valueNot('4'));

           qbrType = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Type));

           qbrType.value(SysQuery::valueNot('5'));

           qbdsProjStatusTypeRule = qbds.addDataSource(tableNum(ProjStatusTypeRule));

           qbdsProjStatusTypeRule.addLink(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Status),fieldNum(ProjStatusTypeRule, ProjStatus));

           qbdsProjStatusTypeRule.addLink(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Type),fieldNum(ProjStatusTypeRule,ProjType));

           qbdsProjStatusTypeRule.joinMode(JoinMode::ExistsJoin);

           qbrProjStatusRule = qbdsProjStatusTypeRule.addRange(fieldNum(ProjStatusTypeRule, ProjStatusRule));

           qbrProjStatusRule.value('5');

           // Run lookup

           sysRefTableLookup.parmQuery(query);

           //Add fields

           sysRefTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, ProjId));

           sysRefTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, Name));

           sysRefTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, B1_Business_Unit));

           sysRefTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(ProjTableFinancialDimension, B1_Business_Unit_Desc));

           sysRefTableLookup.performFormLookup();

           FormControlCancelableSuperEventArgs ce = e as FormControlCancelableSuperEventArgs;

           //cancel super() to prevent error.

           ce.CancelSuperCall();

       }

    Hi nadiah sukerman,

    Yes you are right,  SysReferenceTableLookup is used for reference group field.

    Did you debug your code?

    Yes, thus it can be build successfully but below error message pop out. I compared the code with the online source, it seems similar with them. but I'm not sure why the message said projtable does not exist as a formdatasource. This form name was Travel Requisition form.
