Hi All,

I have set up the 'shortcut dimension 3' as an Employee in the General ledger Setup. I am facing something weird.

when I tried to add the field using the AL code it will populate only the field as text. but the same field I tried to add using Design or personalize will populate as expected with the drop-down of employee master. you can see the below screen prints for the same:

>> below is from with the help of Design:

I need to do using AL code, can anyone give me the solution? what I have missing here?

Thank you.

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist. If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks.

    Hi All,

    I have solved this problem by copying field from General Journal page.

    But One More Query is: why are the highlighted lines we should keep at the last statement in the code? please see the below screen print.

    When I set this lines at the last statement then it will work as expected otherwise not.

    But what is the reason? 

    Thank you.
