Hi,
I'm very new in Business Central and just started it for my internship. I created a custom API for Gen. Journal lines as I couldn't populate all the fields I wanted in the default API. All fields are working but Shortcut Dimension 3 Code, Shortcut Dimension 4 Code, Shortcut Dimension 5 Code, Shortcut Dimension 6 Code. How can I manage to add this in the custom API to be able to populate them via Postman.
Many Thanks,
Mario
i've the same identical problem have you found a solution?
Thank you very much
Shortcut Dimension 3 and above is not actual field on the table.
You need to use variable and trigger to update the dimension set id .
You can follow from General Journal Page on how to do that.
Below is the sample code :

var
ShortcutDimCode: array[8] of Code[20];
field(ShortcutDimCode3; ShortcutDimCode[3])
{
ApplicationArea = All;
CaptionClass = '1,2,3';
TableRelation = "Dimension Value".Code WHERE("Global Dimension No." = CONST(3),
"Dimension Value Type" = CONST(Standard),
Blocked = CONST(false));
trigger OnValidate()
begin
ValidateShortcutDimCode(3, ShortcutDimCode[3]);
end;
}
Ethan-Sorenson Thank you very much for your reply, my problem is not creating the shortcut dimension it is adding them in my custom API page, Dimension shortcut 1,2 code are added without a problem but when I want to add the other dimension shortcut codes (3-6) it tells me that "The name '"Shortcut Dimension 3 Code"' does not exist in the current context". I have created the dimension shortcut code 3-6 in general ledger setup in business central, but for some reason I can't add them in my custom API to then populate in Postman
The easiest way to reconstruct a page to add your own logic is to look at the definition of the existing page. I can't really supply much more information without seeing the error you are encountering.
I recommend using the AL Object Designer to look at the existing AL code in the system.
