Hi all,

 

I have a table which name is "ti_alarm". And in the Form view of this table i have a related list, which shows records from this table "ti_m2m_alarms_ti_vi". This "ti_m2m_alarms_ti_vi" table have 2 reference type fields. One of them is referenced from table "vul_ti", other one is referenced from the table "ti_alarm". On the form view by Related List, at the rights corner i have the"Edit" Button. i click here and see the "Edit Members"-Page. This page have basicly 2 boxes as you know. i can choose records from left one(vul_ti) and add them to the right one. Here in the left side box i see the "number" field of records from the table "vul_ti". How can i change this and see the "short_description" field instead of "number" field?

 

Thanks for your answers 🙂

@ibilge 

is your table "vul_ti" extended from task? If yes then by default it shows "number" field in left slushbucket because that's the field which is marked as Display=True at dictionary for table "vul_ti as it's task extended.

If you want to see "short_description" there then you need to make "short_description" field as Display=true for your table.

For that do this and ensure you are in correct scope update set

1) open the dictionary entry for "short_description" field present at task table

2) then in "Dictionary Override" related list on form create New

3) Give your table and ensure "Override display value" checkbox is checked

So once you do this, instead of number you will start seeing Short Description in left bucket

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

 

SecreenShot 1 is from form view, And if i click on open new vindow, i see it, that it is the table "ti_m2m_alarms_ti_vi".

And when i open this table in sys_db_object, to check table columns. I see that this table have 2 reference type fields. One of them is referenced from table "vul_ti", other one is referenced from the table "ti_alarm"

 

And after clicking on the edit Button on the Edit Members-Page, i see the records from table "vul_ti" on the left hand side to choose. (SecreenShot 2).

 

I would like to see the records from "vul_ti_group" table. I thought, that i can add another reference type field to  the table "ti_m2m_alarms_ti_vi" which referenced from  "vul_ti_group" table. And see the records from this group table. 

 

But i am not sure if it is possible and how ?
