    Note that the better place for your logic is modifiedField() method on the table, not modified() method of an individual form control. It's better for reusability and discoverablity.
     
    There you code may look like this:
    public void modifiedField(FieldId _fieldId)
{
    switch (_fieldId)
    {
        case fieldNum(MyTable, MyFieldId):
            if (this.TableName && this.FieldName)
            {
                this.FieldType = SysDictField::newName(this.TableName, this.FieldName).baseType();
            }
            else
            {
                this.FieldType = Types::void;
            }
            break;
    }
}

    Hi User,

    I think your code in the while loop is erroring right? you don't need a while loop.

    Maybe try something like this and please update us if it works
      
    public boolean modified()
    {
        boolean ret;

        ret = super();

        if(ret)
        {
            TableId      tableId1  = tableName2Id(Grid_Tables.valueStr());
            FieldName    fieldName = Grid_FieldName.valueStr();
            FieldId      fieldId   = fieldName2Id(tableId1, tableFieldName);

            DictField  dictField = new DictField(tableId1, fieldId);

            TableX_ds.object(fieldNum(TableX, FieldType)).setValue(strFmt("%1",dictField.baseType()));
        }

        return ret;
    }

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
