AllWant to change the OOB reference dictionary

PankajK67712898

Hi All,

 

I have requirement of having multiselection variable depending on some other variable than can also be a list type variable i,e. multiselection feature on change request table. I came with a solution to use sys_choice table in reference field of list dictionary but it is OOB disabled for the selection in the reference field. So, i am thinking to change it and make it sys_choice selectable. I am not sure what impact will it have except future upgrades, please help me on the possible issues that can happen.

Dont change the Data type of OOTB field, it will impact on many modules. Better create a new field or do the dictionary override and apply only for specific table.
