How to search for the origin of how a field is loaded with data

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 148

I have a column field filled with data and I don't know from where or how that data was loaded (If it came from an export or a process within a class, i don't know). So I want to know if there is a way to search for the origin in the AOT in AX2012. Thanks in advance.

    Note that you need to build cross-references before you can query them.

    If you haven't generated them, they can't show you anything.

    Hi Girish, than you once again.

    The thing is that it is only showing me the same table in the Data Dictionary/Tables. It doesn't show Classes or Forms or any other element aside from the table itself. And I do know that it is being used on a form but that form is not the origin.

    Hi Daniel Mora,

    You can right click the field and use cross reference to see where the fields are used.

    Refer to the below blog.
