A GP Window, Local Field Added Using Modifier is Not Saving Value

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hi,

I need to add a field on the PM_Transaction_Entry window to capture a category as a string.

I have been reading how to add a field to a GP window using modifier and it seems easy enough.  Open modifier, drag and drop the string control from the toolbox, give it a name, define the length of the string, then drag and drop the text control to give it a label.  Save, return to GP, and in administration, use Alternate/Modified Forms and Reports to grant access to use the modified form.

I went to the PM_Transaction Entry window and the field is there.  I entered a transaction, placed "test1" in the field.  Saved the transaction.  Closed the window.  Then I reopened the transaction and my "test1" text is not there.  

What did I miss?  Do I have to add VBA to save and retrieve the value?

    You didn't missed anything, by just pulling field on the widow will provide you the control to type in, but it doesn't save that value anywhere, so when you save record by pressing save button it after saving record clear the window and so the local fields on the window.

    You have to add vba code of saving that value in either SQL table or DUOS Table.

    and here is link to read about DUOS http://dynamicsgpblogster.blogspot.com/2009/03/what-is-dynamic-user-object-store-duos.html
