How to make Dictionary Overrides for scoped application

[michaelsandonii]

I have an application that I am writing, and it extends the task table.   I want to change the behavior of the "assigned_to" field.   In the task table, that field filters to users with the "itil" role, but I would like to use a different criteria.   It seems that a dictionary override is the way to go, but dictionary overrides on task seem to be limited to the "Global" scope.

How does one get around this?   Do I need a different approach, or am I missing a bigger picture?

Good questions but no answers to your scoped app questions. But on your dictionary override I believe you just make your dictionary override from your app and it will work. I've done it before, so I know it works.

Hi Michael,

You need to add the override in your scope, on your table. I just did this on a demo instance with Fuji. First, I opened the Dictionary entry for that field, while within my scoped app:

Then I scrolled down to the Dictionary Overrides:

I clicked New and filled out my override:

I submitted the record, and verified my override was there:

That is how your override a reference qualifier on a field on Task, from within a scoped app.

That all makes sense Cory however I do not get the New button when I'm in the scoped app and if I revert to the Global scope I cannot see my new table, any thoughts on how I can get the New button on Dictionary Overrides in my scoped app?

Thanks

I just worked it out based on the content of this article Scoped Applications - Introduction from David.Gatley
