My Dropdown list disappear

Hello Guys,

Need to understand what is happening here. Some time ago I was tasked to implement classification of items in our DB.

This is what I have done

1. find a table in AX that would give me all the items numbers/codes

2. in that table I added the fields with the classification. 4 fields to be exact. I could now go to AOT open the table and see each item with their classification.

3. I then open EcoResProductDetailsExtended form and added the fields, my 4 fields to the design. I then compile and I was able to see the drop-down list(really don't recall doing anything else)

when I open an item I was able to click on the form and add classification to an item but today I tried to do that but my dropdown list has gone. the only thing that there is the last information. see image below.

as you can see there is no drop-down list. so if I want to change the brand for this item I cant. 

Pleas,e can anyone help me with this? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi Lionel07,

    I would imagine the dropdown would come by giving your 4 custom fields an EDT (Extended Data Type) relating to your Product Item Group, Source, etc.

    Can you confirm those fields have an EDT assigned to them? If you add a 5th field, for example, a copy of "Product Item Group" and assign it the EDT, do you see the dropdown?  

    Make sure to compile your form and re-enter the module to see changes.
