Hi all,

Anyone knows why productnumber field on quotedetail cannot be added to forms or views?

Is there any chance to use this field?

Thanks in adavance

    I've always done that too, but I found this ootb field  and I asked me if I'm reinventing the wheel...

    But it seems that this field even if exists cannot be used for my needing.

    However thanks for your time.

    I can't check right now but maybe that attribute is only available when querying by web-api and the product lookup is filled? (the field is marked as read-only in the doc you linked)

    as an example the field doesn't exist on this page

    docs.microsoft.com/.../quotedetail

    also if exists (and it's strange) the fact that is read-only limit you on using it. Many implementations I did in the past (for example when a word template was involved) required the creation of a custom field and a logic to copy the productnumber value from product to quotedetail.

    Hi Guido and thanks for your answer.

    What I need is to show the productid (basically the sku code of the product entity) on the quotedetail form.

    Here docs.microsoft.com/.../quotedetail I found the exist an out of the box field named productnumber that is exactly what I need.

    I can use this field to filter the advanced find and I can retrieve this field via fetchXml but it is not shown as available field to be chosen customizing the quotedetail form neither quotedetail views.

    I know that I can use a quick view or copy the value to a custom field using a plugin but obviously I prefer to use the existing field if is possible, otherwise I don't understand why this field exists.

    can you explain what you want to achieve? if you add a quick view on quotedetail pointing to product you should be able to see productnumber (from product) inside the quotedetail form, and the same if you are doing a view on quotedetail.

    Is your scenario to show productnumber starting from quote?
