Hi All,
We have a requirement that when a purchase order is sent over email to a vendor, that a custom field we generated (requestor) found in the purchase header, should be sent an email letting them know the order was sent.
Thought it would be straightforward, but I can not access the description field seen below. It is not visible in the intellitext in VS Code - and I don't know how to reference it otherwise (is it hidden somewhere else?).
I would appreciate some help in understanding how to access this field, so that I can include it into the action for the "Send" command
Email page seen below as well, with send email action I am referencing in page extension

Reportpageextension 60031 pExt60031EmailEditor extends "Email Editor"
{
actions
{
modify(Send)
{
trigger OnAfterAction()
var
emailEditor : Page "Email Editor";
emailOutbox : Record "Email Outbox";
begin
end;
}
}
} 
Hi Zhu,
I tried your approach but there is a fundamental issue. I need to call this codeunit/event when the user clicks the send button (OnBeforeAction - Send), code below.
So I can reference a codeunit that I created (email handler), but I can not call the event subscriber using OnRun trigger - this gives an error : There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'Message' of 'OnSendViaEmailModuleOnAfterCreateMessage(var Codeunit "Email Message", var Record "Email Item" : AL0135)'
Getting close, appreciate your help, thank you

Hi Zhu,
Fantastic suggestion. In the OnAction for the Send button, I just go to this code-unit, and then can access all relevant data and lookups.
This is the answer I was looking for. But, to be honest....why is the previous approach so difficult? Is it not possible to make internal fields public? Or to use recordref to reference them?
Appreciate some help to better understand how to use the latter commands when needed.
Thank you!

Ok here is my update.
I can getrecord and pull in the current page values into a record. This looks great, and I can see the value I want (Description) - but at the table level (BOM Buffer) Access = Internal for that field - so I can not interface with it directly. I chopped up a lot of my code, i used recordref - but since PK is a bigint - i have to format it. That didn't get me far either...i'm still stuck
My questions now are:
It's stuff like this about BC's legacy infrastructure that makes it a mess to work with sometimes....
Thanks for your help
If I understand you correctly, it looks like the same issue.
The thought was to create a global variable in this page (recordDescription) - and then assign it the value "aftergetrecord"
From screenshot below, it looks like the field still isn't visible. Why is that the case?
Have you tried to access the field in the OnAfterGetRecord trigger?
