Item attributes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 555

Hi experts,

I have made an extension to Business Central cloud.

On my own table, I would like to have a field, where the user can select one of the item attributes and save the selected item attribute on my table.

The problem is that item attributes have an integer as unique key and I only want my user to see the name of the item attribute, when he/she selects it.

For instance, if I have these item attribute records:

1, Weight

2, Color

3 Height

then I want the user to select between Weight, Color and Height and it must only be the selected value (eg. "Color"), that is shown in my new field on my new table.

How do I do that?

I have these two files:

table 50101 "myTable"
{
    Caption = 'my';

    fields
    {
        field(1CodeCode[10])
        {
            Caption = 'Code';
            NotBlank = true;
        }
        field(2; Description; Text[50])
        {
            Caption = 'Desc.';
        }
        field(3; "Item Attribute 1"; Integer)
        {
            Caption = 'No. 1';
            TableRelation = "Item Attribute".ID;
        }
    }

    keys
    {
        key(Key1; Code)
        {
            Clustered = true;
        }
    }
}
Page 50102 "myPage"
{
    Caption = 'Well';
    PageType = List;
    SourceTable = myTable;
    ApplicationArea = All;
    UsageCategory = Lists;

    layout
    {
        area(content)
        {
            repeater(Group)
            {
                field("Code";Rec.Code)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    ToolTip = 'Well';
                }

                field(Description;Rec.Description)
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    ToolTip = 'Well';
                }                

                field("Item Attribute 1";Rec."Item Attribute 1")
                {
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    ToolTip = 'Well';
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

    Have a look at page 7506 "Filter Items by Attribute". That one doesn’t show the integer. It is used to return an item filter but you could use it as a basis for adding data to your table. Note it has a trigger built in to it: trigger OnQueryClosePage(CloseAction: Action): Boolean

    I’d take a copy and use it as you need. It passes a temporary version of the table Filter Item Attributes Buffer.

    Hi Josh,

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    I looked at the page, you suggested, and now it works fine.

    I made the field without a tablerelation:

           field(3; "Item Attribute 1"; Text[250])

           {

               Caption = 'Name';

               trigger OnValidate()

               var

                   ItemAttribute: Record "Item Attribute";

               begin

                   if Rec."Item Attribute 1" <> '' then begin

                       ItemAttribute.SetRange(Name, "Item Attribute 1");

                       if not ItemAttribute.FindFirst() then begin

                           Error('It did not exist");

                       end;

                       if Rec."Item Attribute 1" <> ItemAttribute.Name then

                           Rec."Item Attribute 1" := ItemAttribute.Name;

                   end;

               end;

           }

    and on my page, I wrote this:

                   field("Item Attribute 1";Rec."Item Attribute 1")

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = All;

                       ToolTip = 'Name';

                       TableRelation = "Item Attribute".Name;

                   }
