How to display the "Search Description" within the "Sales Order Subform" table of the "Sales Order" page?

Currently, I can only some pre-supported fields like "Price description" via the Designer, but the "Search Description" property is not accessible.

I'm not sure how to achieve that, so any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

    Hi, "Search Description" does not exist in Sales Line, so it needs to be customized. There are generally two methods, one is to use FlowField to display directly.
    For example,

    Another way is to add an actual field and assign a value when filling in No.

    For example,

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks.

    With the latest version of Business Central 2023 wave 1 Microsoft has unlocked all fields. You can now add any field from sales line table:

    Hi You need to create a Table extension and page extension of that subform. and try to see if that field's value is available in subform.
