Add field to List Page that is only available to be added by using Personalize

Posted on by CU03102009-0

I have created the custom tables, cards and enums to hold values from a Drop-Down from the Service Item Card. I would like to make this field available to be added to the Service Item List, but not shown by default. I have added the field to extend the Service Items List page and changed the Visable property = false, but the field is not available to be added from Personalize.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

To be able to understand what might be the culprit, can you tell in detail what changes you made as extension to the form?

I used an enum to hold the collection of Contact Status entries and the field was added to the table ext and the Service Item Card.

Here is the code for the Service Items List ext. I would like the field to not show by in the List by default. Used Visible= true for now unless there is a way to get it to not show and just be available to add from Personalize.

Thanks

pageextension 50131 ServiceItemsListExt extends "Service Item List"

{

layout

{

addafter("No.")

{

field("Contract Status"; Rec."Contract Status")

{

ApplicationArea = All;

Visible = true;

}

}

}

}

Moved from Integration, Dataverse, and general topics forum to Small and medium business | Business Central, NAV, RMS forum, because the code looks like Business Central.

do you have custom table permissions assigned to your user?

Hello,

In BC, if you set the control Visible = false; at design time, it’s treated as not available for personalization (so it won’t show up in the Personalize → Fields list). The usual pattern is: add the field to the List repeater with Visible = true (and make sure it has a valid ApplicationArea, e.g. All), then hide it by default using Profile/Page Customization (so users can still add it later via Personalize). Also double-check you’re adding it inside the page’s repeater(...)—fields added outside the repeater won’t be offered as columns.

Regards,
Oussama Sabbouh

Hi,

In my experience of developing and adding field, if you set Visible property as false, it does not allow those fields to be added through personalization. I know in standard fields you can do, but not in customized once.

So option you have is to set Visible = true and then through Profile(Roles) customization, you can hide it. Which then user will be able to hide or unhide as per choice in user personalization.

Regards,

Dhiren.
