Dictionary override for choice field

[Rocky5]

Hello,

I want to make a choice available for only child table. Example, on Defect form we have a ‘state’ field that is Task table, and now I want to add another choice to the state field and that new choice is available only on Defect form along with existing choices. How can I achieve this?

Thanks,

Rocky.

Hi, if the choice is only available on the child table then you would simply add the choice record (in sys_choice) for the same element but against the child table.

/sys_choice_list.do?sysparm_query=element%3Dstate%5Ename%3Dtask%5EORname%3Dincident&sysparm_view=

Hi Tony,

When I did that only nee choice is available on the state field on child table. But I need all existing choices (parent table) + the newly created choice on child table field.

thanks,

Rocky.

The parent table choices should still be available to you, if they are not currently selectable on the child form you can right click the choice field and select configure choices, then use the slush bucket to manage the choices that you want to make accessible for the child table.
