How to differentiate between inherited fields and created in the same table.

[Anupriya1]

Hi All,

Can someone help me in identifying the fields created on a specific table and the fields inherited by that table from its parent table.

I am unable to find any specific column for the same.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply!

By going to each field dictionary, we can get to know but if I need that in the list view.. As you have shown in the screenshot, in that list how I will came to know after applying the table name that which field is inherited and which is not.

The list I showed is simply through Incident list, hamburger, configure, dictionary:

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

inherited field come from the "extends table" and custom field created on the table which you have. 

eg: incident table has extends table "Task"

so all the task columns came as inherited . 

so whatever column you will create  on incident table will be incident column but if you create the column on task table , that will be the inherited column and will be also visible on incident table.

Hi Harshvardhan,

Are you talking about some field? If yes can you please tell me the name of that field from which it will be easily differentiated.

Thanks.

when you will open your table you will see the column "table" so it will show the field has been created on which table , either extends table name or main table name. eg:

i opened the incident table so you will see the difference.
