I have this requirement:

Firstly i have to extend base enum and add element named / Transfer order/

Now i have to add lookup on the existing lookup for the transfer orders now because for every enum type the lookup is different now i want lookup for transfer order.

I have created lookup for transfer order but it is appearing on every enum type i wanted my lookup only for transfer order that i added on base enum.

This is the code that i write for override lookup:

By this code lookup is appearing on every enum

Well, you're completely missing a condition saying that you want your custom logic only for transfer orders. But don't bother adding it, because the whole approach is wrong.

The standard logic already supports the scenario. It uses the plugin framework to create a specific class implementing CaseIAssociation intrerface and calling its performLookup() method. You just need to implement such a class for transfer orders.

For example, look at CustTransCaseAssociationProvider. Don't miss ExportMetadataAttribute - that's what tells the class factory which class should be used for a particular value CaseEntityType enum.
