Hi Everyone,

I have a tableextension for the item table.

I can't find a way to set the InitValue for a existing field.

See below.

tableextension 50015 BCItem extends Item

{

fields

{

modify("Inventory Value Zero"){

InitValue=true;

}

}

}

Above doesn't work with the intellisense saying "The property 'InitValue' cannot be customizedAL(AL0246)"

Appreciate your help

Thanks

InitValue is not aproperty that you cannot customize on an existing field. This is to preserve different extensions in SaaS.

Thanks for the response. What would be the correct way to set a initial value of a existing field when the corresponding page is opened for a new item?

create a new extension for page and add the following:

trigger OnNewRecord()

begin

"Inventory Value Zero" := true;

end
