Hello Team,

We have created a New Form and Table for Country Of Origin having two fields (Country Code and Country Name). We want to have a Dropdown of this Table / Form in Inventable Form. We have created a New Field (type as String but Extended datatype similarly to Country code in CountryOrigin TAble) for Country Code in Invent Table but this field is displayed as a Textbox and not Dropdown. Kindly let us know what are we missing.

Thank You.

Hello Martin,

It is resolved, I was missing the relations between Tables.

Thanks for your support and guidance.

It difficult to identify a problem without more details from you.

Is the form control actually bound to a table field in InventTable?

Don't you have any conflicting logic in modified(), for example?

It's not in properties; it's a node in AOT.

Didn't you forget to add a table reference to the EDT?

By the way, doesn't AX 2009 already contain a table with countries?
