How can I show a field from a related table from an extended table in a list

[Jay Gamblin]

So I have a list for rm_feature

Extended from that we have rm_defect

We added a reference to rm_story on the rm_defect table.   So its rm_defect.u_story.

Now I want to show rm_defect.u_story.product as a column in the rm_feature list.   It is possible?

Sounds to me like dot-walking would be your solution here.

Hi Jay,

It is possible.

Select the reference field and click the tree button which reads 'Expand selected reference field' and you can select the fields from the referenced table.

Thanks,

Nitin.

I can do this from the Defects (rm_defect) list but I cannot do this from the Features (rm_feature) list.

From the Features list, the defect record is in an extended table, so then how would I dot walk to the extended table record's related record and display a specific column?

Hi Jay,

If you want to show the extended table fields in list view follow the below steps
1. Navigate to System Properties > UI Properties

2. Locate the property Allow base table lists (task, cmdb_ci, etc.) to include extended table fields (incident_state, os_version, etc.), and allow filtering on extended table fields (glide.ui.list.allow_extended_fields).

3. Select the checkbox to enable the property and you will be able to see the extended table fields in list view of the child tables.

Thanks,

Nitin.
