I can’t see the custom table in the Custom Scope. I confirmed that the table’s Application Access is set to All application scopes, but it still doesn’t appear in the table dropdown when I create the HTML Document Template. Because of this, the fields aren’t populating and I’m unable to proceed.

if you are in same scope as that of your table and your table is task extended then it should show in Table selection in document template
If that table is not task extended, then there is a workaround
You need to modify the dictionary of the Table field and remove "tableChoicesScript=DocumentTemplateTableChoiceScript" from the attribute to see all the tables
Then select your table and revert the dictionary entry and add that attribute again

Hi @adpani
Even with "All application scopes" access, explicit cross-scope access might be required for the Document Templates application to use your custom table.
To enable cross-scope access for the tables you need:
Navigate to:
System Definition → Application Cross-Scope AccessCreate a new record with the following details:
- Source: Your current application scope
- Target: The name of the table you want to access
- Permissions: Read
Save the record.
Refresh the Document Template form. The table you configured should now appear in the dropdown and be selectable.

Could you please share screenshots for this if this approach worked for you?
This would help members.
