Hi Venkat,

Create multiple field in dictionary entry with different backend values.

Hi Venkat,

 

This is pretty easy. Go to form layout (not form design). In form layout, you can select different sections and add the same fields over and over again.

The number of times you can add a field to a section is only once. So create different sections in the form and add them.

But please keep in mind that this sort of layout is highly discouraged by ServiceNow. Please read Jakarta release notes for more info.

 

To keep things short, back in Helsinki, this was supported. But now it is not.

 

If you write a client script to hide some field or so, then it is noted that the field in the first occurring section is only which gets hidden.

 

Thanks

This is exactly the issue that i am running into. I have a category field displaying twice on the case form - one in the main form and another in one of the sections of the form. My client scripts are only working on the field in the main form, the one in the form section is getting ignored. 

 

Wondering if there is a way to overcome that?

 

Thanks,

Johannes
