Hi Apple,

Please check the FormBuildReferenceGroupControl and FormReferenceGroupControl class:

FormBuildReferenceGroupControl::addControl()

Please read through the following white paper:www.microsoft.com/.../details.aspx

Here is a concrete example:

[Form] public class Form1 extends FormRun { public void init() { FormBuildReferenceGroupControl refGroup = form.design().addControl(FormControlType::ReferenceGroup, 'myRefGroup'); refGroup.extendedDataType(extendedTypeNum(HcmWorkerRecId)); super(); } }
