Customize screen

In the shipper screen there is a text box (User8) that I would like to change to a combo box. I have tried adding this list in. I have also tried deleting it off the screen. I get a message that "Remove object changes will not take effect until customizations have been saved, and the current screen has been reloaded". I saved the changes, logged out of Solomon and logged back on. The field is still there. Any idea on either how to change the field to a combo box or how to delete it so I can add it back in as a combo box?

Hello sbooth71,

Sometimes SL will have like this. you can follow below work around to solve this issue.

Take the backup of shipper screen customization using Export customization screen
- Note: If you have added the User8 in All Users Level then you need only the ALL USERS Level Customization backup
- please make a copy of CST file before doing any changes in CST file
Open the CST in notepad and find the Control which you want to delete from the shipper screen. for Instance I have given the sample. you need to delete the below highlighted section from CST file

Begin SAF.SAFMaskedText xuser8
'' Created = True
'' Version = 6
blankerr = FALSE
enabled = TRUE
fieldname = ""bShipHeader.user8";936;0"
mask = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
'' parentform = "Form1"
tabindex = 899
top = 133
visible = TRUE
width = 178
End

Save the changes and Import the CST file again into the DynamicsSL using Import customization screen
Now you can not see the control in the shipper screen
Again you have to add the combo box control in shipper using customization manager.

Hope this may help.
