Hello Finance community readers,
I have a PurchTable.WWIExtension where I have added a field from an added data source. The field is WWINamedPlace, and it is contained in the PurchPurchaseOrderHeader.WWIExtension. So I've added PurchPurchaseOrderHeader as a data source in PurchTable.WWIExtension.
I want to move the PurchPurchaseOrderHeader_WWINamedPlace into the Delivery (Group) in the same Tab. Right now it is in the tab, but it's just the last item in the tab, and not in the right group.
Visually that looks like this in Visual studio, and my interface:
In related posts I think the answer is to use more construction (not the right word) elements in the right hand pane of my form designer. But I haven't come across a good MS Support page or MS Learn or other community post about it so far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank-you for reading my post.
That's the correct design, You're welcome :)
I had stumbled across that earlier in the day, but didn't have the confidence to tear down what I had to go this way.
But now that you've expertly guided me this way, I've deleted what I had done the wrong way, created the new field, and added it to the Delivery Field Group as you suggested, and it automatically shows up on my form extension!
Plus... the data is editable and saves! Wohoo!
Thanks again Mohit!
Because your field belongs to PurchPurchaseOrderHeader Datasource and the Delivery field group is linked to PurchTable Datasource. These fields are auto populated from Delivery Field group in PurchTable table and in form design we need to provide Datasource and field group name.
It will work but not a good design, field groups are for fields in a same table. Field the standard field group is used in code level to control its visibility based on some conditions then you have to write same for your custom group which is extra and unnecessary work.
Hello Mohit,
Thank-you for your time as always.
I tried that, it won't let me put my new data field in that group.
I had to duplicate the Delivery Group and copy all of it's fields into the duplicate, from there I copied my desired field, WWINamedPlace into the new group. I set the original group to not be enabled or visible.
Would there be some reason why it wouldn't let me put my field into the original group?
This is what it looks like now:
So the top Delivery (Group) is enabled: No, Visible: No.
This seems to work properly in my form. The Delivery2 (Group) uses the same data fields.
It's a kludge work around though.
Hi, You need to add your field in 'Delivery' Field Group in PurchTable table. As per screenshot, its a different Datasource 'PurchPurchaseOrderHeader', if field is in this datasource then you can't add it in Delivery group.
