Add Segmented Entry to Form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

Hello all,

my goal is to add a Segmented Entry to a form, where the user can choose an Account. The field behind is on a custom table. You can see the table and the field properties in the attached picture.

I used this link as reference for my goal:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh300644.aspx 

Here are the tables and properties:

My first problem is, that i can't override the method "resolveReference" on my custom field (i added it as new method so far).

The second problem is (mabye it is caused from the first problem, but i think not), that when i open the form, the field is already filled, without an entry on my table!

The steps i have done so far:

1. Create Table "MDISAutoSettlementTmp"

2. Add two field and define properties

3. Add the new table to Form Datasources

4. Follow the steps  on the posted link above 

Thanks in advance for your help!

    OK now i got it! In the form was already a "ledgerDimensionAccountController" and this was responsible for the "default Value".

    Thanks

    You are right, the EDT have to be "LedgerDimensionAccount" now i can use the segmented entry without that ax will crash.

    But the second problem, that the segmented entry is filled without an entry on my table still exists.

    Double-check the Extended Data Type of the Field which you have created.

    Thank you for your help. I added it without override already. I will check the link in a few minutes.

    Try to just create resolveReference method yourself, if there is no override option, to see if it works.

    You can take a look also some of the bloggers' posts on this for reference, other than MSDN:
