Table Extension Fields in Configuration Packages

Posted on by BrendonA

Looking for some help using a field from a table extension in a Configuration Package.

This was my first attempt at creating an extension. I slightly modified the Microsoft's Rewards Tutorial to meet my needs.

All appears to be working except I was hoping to update the Category data via a configuration package, but I didn't get the new field when I download the Excel template.

Is there a property or relation that needs to be set?

Any insight is appreciated.

Table Extension Fields in Configuration Packages

Hey,

I don't know if it just took some time, but after reading your messages I went back into the Package Configuration, and checked the fields, the custom field was selected.

I exported the package and the field was included. So all good there.

Zhu,

On an unrelated note, I came across a post I believe is yours, https://yzhums.com/2182/.

The post relates to adding Dimensions to the Item Ledger Entry, but I am looking to add dimensions to Jobs. Where I am running into issues is the Code Unit.

I was wondering if there is a way to contact you directly regarding this?

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply.

If You download the pre-defined template, it could be the field will not appear there. Please try to create a new Configuration package, and enter the table number in the lines. By default it will have all the fields selected, so You can export it to Excel and see Your field there.
