When we view our Purchase Order List, we need a custom po status field that used some code to figure out its value. In x++ we were able to create something called display methods that were basically virtual fields that were coded to obtain a value - I see that I am able to use flow fields however it appears that flow fields must use some sort of aggregate lookup on other records.
is there a way to create a virtual field, and set its value in code - basically a lookup calc field that the code returns the value.
Thanks so much

I think that it would be better to use a global variable and set that on the page bounded to a column based on calculations that you do in the OnAfterGetRecord trigger. This would avoid creating a deadly table extension.
if you cannot make it this way, then you have to use 2 fields imho. One field is the flowfield that does the calculation and the other field is a global option value variable that display the text you want based on the flowfield. Remember to use calcfields in the record.
