Added custom fields to a screen - not updating to database

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by street9009 130

Hello,

I added two fields to a custom screen and it seems to read them from the database perfectly. (I followed the tutorial here: http://www.boyerassoc.com/adding-custom-fields-screen-dynamics-sl/.)

However, when I fill the fields in and save, it doesn't seem to be saving back to the database. Can anyone point me to why? I did not have to use an extension table, just two custom fields in a table that was already connected.

Thanks.

    Hi street9009.

    I have already seen the tutorial, and if you do the same it will be right, you might look it over step by step and find out if something is wrong, maybe the type of the fields doesn't match or the mask is incorrect in length. 

    You said that they were read correctly from the database, is there some message when you save the transaction?

    No, there's no message. Just when I look at the field in SQL Management Studio, it's not updated.

    I checked the masking. It was right on the money for the DB fields I added (User1 and User3).

    but, you bound the fields to a table and this table is on a level within the screen, for example batch = LEVEL0, ARDoc = LEVEL1, ARTran = LEVEL2.

    So, what table/level did you use?, did you put the fields in the correct area within the screen? I mean among the fields that correspond to the table/level

    Oooh, sorry I'm a little new to this.

    Level: 0, Level Description: Person, Table Name: xhr_employee (it's a custom table, as you can tell from the name).

    Don't worry.

    are you using an IDE or environment for developing?

    Did you develop the screen from the beginning by yourself?

    I did not develop the screen. It's from a third party add-on.

    try to undone the customizations that you made and make sure it works correctly. It could be for many things.

    Do you have teamviewer?

    maybe I can help you through this software

    Could it be because this screen only reads from that table? It seems like the fields on the screen pertaining to that table are read only. The screen is primarily used to update records in the Level 1 table.
