Adding a scoped field to the Group table

[Mark244]

I'm in the process of building a scoped application which requires a new field to be added to the Group table; however, the Group table (sys_user_group) is not listed in the Table dropdown when creating a Table Column in Studio.  Is it possible to add a new field from a scoped application to the Group table?

You can simply add a type to your groups which should reflect if the group is a part of a scoped application or global.

I'm not sure if I understand your suggestion, but I'm trying to add a new field to the Group (sys_user_group) table from a scoped application but it's not even available in the drop down and I'm not sure I understand why.

HI, @Mark244 

Changing the system table is not suggested to do .

If you really need to do this, you can modifly the system table at now plantform not sutio.

1. change the scope to global

2. open the group table ( type  "sys_user_group.form" in the filter)

3. click the additional actions -> configure -> Dictionary

4. click the “new” Button and then add the field you want .

it works for me ,but really not suggested to do this .

Maybe the right way is Creating a new table implements the sys_user_group table and then add the field you want to the new table.

Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately I would prefer to keep this field/change fully contained in the scoped application so we don't have to apply additional update sets to the global scope.  I just find it odd, that most of the tables we can add scoped application field to (including the User table) but not the Group table.  Thanks again.
