Can I add a record to sys_dictionary by using a script?

[erantal2000]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a script that will automatically add field to a table.

Is there a way I can do this? maybe by adding a record to sys_dictionary?

I tried to do that by using GlideRecord but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

Still, no luck 😞

I just created my own app and scoped table. WHen I executed it on scoped app, it gave me cross-scope-privilege error.

I executed it in Global scope and it worked.

Thank you very much!

From Global scope it worked perfectly.

Just one comment... in the sys_scope field, I had to put the sys_id of the scope (not the name).

I appreciate the help very much 🙂

I wouldn't do this. there are other tables that come into play like sys_documentation, etc that you have to go through as well. what is your use case here?

I have a scoped application in which I want to enable automatic conversion of other applications into my scoped application.

So I want the integrator to have the list of customized fields in an Excel file, and then upload the file and create those fields...
