Posted on by Carlos Tena

Hi, I have a contract class with a reference control that shows the fiscal calendar period. This control has a lookup and when a record is selected, it displays the selected record with 3 fields like this

I need to modify the replacement field group property of the reference control in UI Builder class to show only one field. Is it possible? I know that in a form you can choose the displayed fields changing the property replacement field group.

I have the same question (0)

Hi Carlos,

It cannot be done using any property or through code.

You need to override the lookup method to show only single fields to.

If it doesn't work add a string control and add a look up to it.

Thanks,

Girish S.

You should be able to pass a value to replacementFieldGroup() method of FormReferenceGroupControl.

Here is (the only) example from the standard application:

referenceGroupControl.replacementFieldGroup(tableFieldGroupStr(FinTag, DisplayValue));

Hi Carlos,

There is indeed a function ReplacementFieldGroup() for doing this,

Thank you Martin, this is what I needed.

Here is the code I wrote:

public void build()

{

super();

df_fiscalCalendarPeriodRecId = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(), methodStr(GeneratePortfolioProposalContractIND, parmFiscalCalendarPeriodRecId));

FormBuildReferenceGroupControl formBuildReferenceGroupControl = df_fiscalCalendarPeriodRecId.control();

formBuildReferenceGroupControl.replacementFieldGroup(tableFieldGroupStr(FiscalCalendarPeriod, FiscalPeriod));

}

Re-posted with correct indentation and line spacing:

public void build() { super(); df_fiscalCalendarPeriodRecId = this.bindInfo().getDialogField( this.dataContractObject(), methodStr(GeneratePortfolioProposalContractIND, parmFiscalCalendarPeriodRecId)); FormBuildReferenceGroupControl refGroupControl = df_fiscalCalendarPeriodRecId.control(); refGroupControl.replacementFieldGroup(tableFieldGroupStr(FiscalCalendarPeriod, FiscalPeriod)); }

Please always use Insert > Code (in the rich-formatting view).
