How to find all field references

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by yashi1985 40

Hi

I have created a function to auto update item cross reference code while scanning on sales order page.

I wanted to update this functionality in all the pages that uses cross reference barcode.

Is there any way in BC 17 to find all the references of field or table that are related to.

Thanks in advance

    Good question, and also good reply to use FieldRef. Another way that will show you some detials is to look at the Field system-table:

    page 50102 FieldList
    {
        PageType = List;
        ApplicationArea = All;
        UsageCategory = Lists;
        SourceTable = Field;

        layout
        {
            area(Content)
            {
                repeater(GroupName)
                {
                    field(TableNo; rec.TableNo) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                    field(TableName; rec.TableName) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                    field(FieldName; rec.FieldName) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                    field(TableRelation; rec.RelationTableNo) { ApplicationArea = All; }
                    field(Fieldrelation; rec.RelationFieldNo) { ApplicationArea = All; }

                }
            }
            area(Factboxes)
            {

            }
        }

        actions
        {
            area(Processing)
            {
                action(ActionName)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;

                    trigger OnAction();
                    begin

                    end;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    this will show you if a field is related to a table in properties. Except if the relation is conditional (for example "No." on a Sales Line. It also won't show any code relationships or where used. For that I don't think there are any tools at the moment, but I would be interested to hear if someone knows of any such tools.
